Overview

Being a human is a tough gig. We’re complicated, thanks to those pesky emotions we have. For example, have you ever felt lonely, even when you’re in a crowd of people? Maybe at other times you’ve been on your own by choice yet been totally content. Being around people or being alone is usually up to us.

But what about when that choice is taken from you? Maybe you’re separated from others because the world has been gripped by a virus' Maybe work has taken you to some far-flung place?
