You will get sad. This is something missing from the YouTube shorts of rosé-fuelled sunsets. It’s a topic not discussed amongst the market stalls overflowing with figs. It will never be included in the stories about buying a crumbly old house in France and ‘living the dream’. Let’s talk about loneliness. Even in the most absurdly picturesque village… you can feel completely and utterly alone. In a deep-boned, throat-closed kind of way. The kind of quiet that makes you question everything.
