Being with people is good, because you can see yourself reflected in them. Being at home alone is also good, but one should be open to external stimuli. I am nurturing some young friendships, and it feels good! I don’t want to be so isolated anymore.

I invited friends for a barbecue. We had a nice time. And the most important thing: we might not be very close, but they all appeared, they all told me how much they enjoyed it. I see that I am esteemed by this group of people, and it feels very very good.
