My family say I’m full of them. Ideas that is. Well my most recent idea, I’ve been ruminating on for a while now, and this is it. A place where you and I will not feel so alone. A place where you and I can come and find others just like us, those of us that feel alone, or lonely. I’m not talking about solitude, or the choice we sometimes make to spend some time in our own company. I’m talking about loneliness, that we didn’t ask for or expect, that may have just jumped up and hit us in the face or crept up on us slowly over the last few days, weeks, months or years. Whatever, and however, really doesn’t matter that much, the fact is I am alone, I feel lonely most of the time, desperately so at times and ironically I know I’m not alone in feeling lonely. It is a fast developing problem for many of us. It impacts our mental and physical health and wellbeing, and I feel a need to do something about it.
So here goes, what do I have to lose?
This blog is a space to discuss the development of a new interactive website, right here, that connects people through a variety of mutual interests, and most importantly encourages local connections and meet-ups that begin with a smile or an actual handshake, maybe a real hug from another human being, face-to-face connections that I believe we are starting to truly lack in this world.
