the loneliness index

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a 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.

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.
