Thanks for this, the first half of the comment perfectly sums up my last few years. I've moved out of London to try and live a more comfortable and less hectic life in a smaller city, now I find I'm so alone I want to move back to the city just to be with my friends. I'd love to be in the middle of nowhere, or anywhere else in the world, but the "friends" problem is always so understated. I _need_ friends(hip), or I don't function. Even as an "antisocial" person, as my friends like to say, friendship is the most important thing in life. Funnily, the fact that I'm being productive while a big part of myself is just a huge hole is impressive in itself.

I found that it's like a furnace that still burns hot from your momentum, but when you stop throwing in fuel (social interaction, feeling that you belong), the creative and productive juices do dry up and you end up, maybe literally, dehydrated; and I fondly remember getting my best ideas and impulses after good times spent with friends.

It feels like beeing a black hole, with a thin crust of human on top, sometimes it hurts so much, that you can allmost hear a sucking, swirling sound.
