It's normal to feel lonely and the best years of your life aren't gone!

It’s common to feel lonely after University, as you move away from your friends and begin your adult life in a new place and a new job without your usual support network around you.  But you aren’t alone. You don't need to feel ashamed, embarrassed or guilty for feeling lonely even if you have great family, friends, or a good partner. Here, I share my tips for dealing with loneliness, living away from your friends and why your best years aren’t behind you.  I also share a passage of Marina Keegan’s (extraordinary) ‘The Opposite of Loneliness’ that she wrote at University for Yale Daily News, as she's articulated the feeling of community that we crave better than I ever could. Host: https://www.instagram.com/jesskbacon/ Hosted on Acast.
