Loneliness sucks.
I have often questioned why we, as a society, feel the need to couple up. I believe it is related to needing a sense of 'belonging' that a partner (under the right circumstances) provides.
I, personally, am very lonely. Honestly, everything in my life is on track. I have a great job, geat family, wonderful friends that I am truly close with...yet it isn't enough. Perhaps it's depression, perhaps it is simply human nature.
As for the magic pill, if someone could capture the feeling of embracing someone you love, I would buy mass quantities.
