Connection, not feeling alone and not feeling like no one's listening to you or no one sees you, just giving you that one or two or three or a group of people to be there for you. And that also makes me think that a lot of these mental health disorders might be rooted in this isolation, this feeling of aloneness that maybe spirals out into something bigger, a bigger mental illness.
