After a period of time, the brain experiences loneliness as danger. The effects of loneliness are tangible and devastating

Wow this is such a powerful picture and personally resonates with me in such a deep way. I know some commenters expressed that you could have taken another avenue but I am so glad you shared this.

There is a piece of this in all of us, whether it has looked like this or not. For me as a kid it was arranging my beanie babies like this. I used to make sure I kept a rotation of my stuffed animals going so they all got equal time and no one felt left out. I was too young to know what that said about me then.

Please keep doing this. It's important for us to see it as it encourages us to reach out to those in our lives who may be lonely and be there for them. A text or phone call can change a whole day.

Edit: Wow the stories of other people doing this have been so cool and thanks so much for the awards! Mostly thanks to OP for sharing their art and bringing us all together so we can have this dialog!
