My biggest struggle has to do with a deep, deep loneliness. I have thought about this a lot, and prayed, and tried to connect with others, but I seem to be cut from a different sort of cloth. Not many would guess this about me, either. I have a job in a “helping profession”, where I speak to people all the time.
