"You can have great friendships and still be lonely because loneliness is a facet of the human experience, especially in times of life when you're going through something that the people around you are not going through. But I think that's why we have to be so intentional about putting ourselves with other people and talking and asking how are things going. And then listening. We have to make ourselves do that, even when it's hard. We can't just default to, well, we just won't talk about it. It's too much." ~ Mary Laura Philpott on episode 30
