And yet, as you read on, you will relate to the loneliness that I describe, that I too have shared. Sometimes it issurprisingly easy to ignore. Other times it seems as though you aretruly the lone wolf. You can hear the distant cries of other wolvesthrough the night air, but your days are spent in…See More
