b'
Today\\u2019s poem is When Your Month is Lonely\\u2026 by Christine Kwon. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes\\u2026 "I read all those articles that proclaim how lonely we are becoming; I believe there\\u2019s some truth to it. Here\\u2019s my fear: all my work is making me alien to myself and others. I\\u2019m happy people are in my life. I wish not to skirt over their humanity, nor my own. I do not want our relationship to devolve to obligation, or come off as transactional. But we naturally negotiate that space of difference between ourselves and others; how rewarding when we can really connect to others.\\u201d
