During the pandemic I moved out to the middle of nowhere in NY State. I am surrounded by nature, wildlife, and my neighbors are barely within shouting distance. I rarely ever see friends, go to coffee shops, restaurants, clubs, movies, shopping, etc. And I have never been so not-lonely.

My time is filled with activities and projects so I barely have enough time to just sit with a cup of coffee. When I do, I have a whole backyard full of flora and fauna to look at and listen to, like one of those YouTube channels streaming nature sounds. Country folk have the right idea living out here. You don't miss what you don't see.
