the loneliness index

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2020.04.11

It's now been two weeks since I had a face-to-face conversation with anyone. And I just had my first pang of loneliness. Is there a name for the "how long 'til you're lonely" index? "Cabin fever index" perhaps?

It's crossed my mind that I have an aunt that I believe does this all the time without reporting loneliness.

Marriage is like a game of chess, except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
