Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The lie that leaves you gasping is the idea that you are alone in life, when in reality, you just haven’t found your people yet.
#2
The Ache of loneliness is real and it’s haunting us. We all come into the world looking for someone who is looking for us. We want to be seen, comforted, and safe. But we aren’t always safe.
#3
You may be believing the lie that you’re destined to be alone, but what if the people you need are right around the corner.
#4
I’ve learned that I’m not alone in feeling lonely. I’ve experienced and then shared my loneliness honestly, and I’ve found that it brings people in. You’ll fight for this kind of life, too.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
We spend our evenings and weekends tucked into our little residences with our little family or roommates, staring at our little screens. We make dinner for just us and never want to trouble our neighbors for anything. We fill a small, little crevice called home with everything we could possibly need. But we have completely cut ourselves off from people outside our little self-protective world.
#2
If you choose to join me in this adventure of building authentic community, I promise that what you’ll gain in the bargain is more than worth it. However, it will require you to rethink everything in your life today.
#3
We are all just waiting for connections to happen, but we spend hours alone with no connection, and then we expect friends to magically appear in our lives. But community is bigger than two or three friends.
#4
We’ve replaced real conversations with small talk, and we’ve substituted soul-baring, deep, connected living with texts and a night out together every once in a while. But life is messy, and the magic of the best of relationships is the mess.
#5
The first people group to live an individualistic lifestyle was the American generation. We have much to learn from those who have chosen connection over isolation.
#6
We live in a world where we are constantly surrounded by people who are happier than us, and we start to believe that the problem is us. We hide our pain because we believe that if we are not seen, we cannot be rejected or hurt.
#7
We live alone, we eat alone, we run our errands alone, and we suffer alone. We’re sick of it, anyway.
#8
I had decided to meet with a few friends regularly, but when one quit me, I felt alone again. I had spent nearly three years meeting with my friends regularly, and without them, I felt empty.
#9
There are times when we feel like our relational cup is full and times when we wonder if anyone cares about us at all. Whatever situation has left you feeling detached and adrift, I’m about to throw you a life preserver.
#10
We all desire a village, or a state of being. We move to cool cities, for higher-paying jobs, and choose colleges based on their reputation. But are we happy.
