These two sentences hit me in the gut! "I deeply believe that being present in the presence of others, ourselves, and our environment is one of life’s greatest gifts. I wonder if my aching stems from the fact that there are people who do not feel the same way, or if perhaps, I ache in response to the spot in which I land on people’s list of priorities." I also struggle with this tension, on the one hand my life is beautifully full of incredible people and love, on the other hand I still feel an ache and an existential loneliness that I don't think will ever go away. Thank you for writing this!
