Relationships, the cure to loneliness, are often that low hanging fruit (there are plenty of people in the world looking for a friend or someone to love them), but I often feel like Steinbeck's Lennie, my love ultimately leads to death. There are other alleys of joy in the world though besides human connection; mastering a craft and creating something meaningful, to at least yourself but possibly others, is a start. However, I still have an ounce of hope that my situation can change regarding having healthy relationships (and I'm old), so don't give up hope of that either. Motivation from someone else is often spurious though; it really needs to come from you.
