  So you think you are lonely? (Mandarin Ep)

  Aug 24, 202643 minS2

  You went to the dinner. You were surrounded by people. You came home and still felt empty. That's not loneliness, and that's you waiting for someone else to knock first. This episode is about the kind of lonely that nobody talks about, not the alone-in-your-room kind, but the standing-at-a-party-watching-everyone-else-connect kind. The kind where you start asking why they didn't choose you. It's natural to have these negative feelings, but the real question is...are you doing everything you can to change the situation?

Why your music taste might not actually be yours if you've been letting numbers and aesthetics make your choices for you, and why a certain very famous artist is a business plan wearing a guitar. Because I'm not just here to ruin your day, I want to share six actual ways to find music that hits different. Let's discuss.
