My sister had suicidal thoughts for years before she eventually overdosed. She felt more burden than loneliness, I think.

Part of me believes that humans cannot properly deal with the thought of our own death, so we ought to place it behind a sacred veil and never approach it until we are ready to pass through...when we no longer have anything to give.

It’s clear to me that you have much more to give.

I resonate with having similar scores on the scales... being lonely as a result of being so different is hard. I think it's worth the struggle, for the long haul, to look for your people, so that your gifts to the world can be felt and pass through you. Living in the middle of nowhere probably doesn't help.

I'm hoping you find a greater sense of belonging, Rajeev.
