Can you love the life you chose…and still feel lonely in it?In Story 8 of Stories From Somewhere, I’m telling you about one very ordinary afternoon in Lisbon when, despite being happy with the life I had built, I suddenly felt incredibly far away from the people I loved.Nothing terrible happened. There was no dramatic turning point. Just one of those quiet moments when distance feels a little heavier than usual.This is a story about loneliness, independence, missing the people who already know you, and learning that two things can be true at once: you can be grateful for where you are and still miss what and who you left behind.Maybe loneliness isn't always a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes it's simply a reminder that connection matters.If someone came to mind while listening, send the message. Make the call. Tell them you've been thinking about them. What helps you feel connected when you're far away from the people you love? Tell me your somewhere.Until then...I’ll meet you somewhere. ✨
