The need to belong is endemic to the human condition, and the desire to be with or be like those we see living incredible lives can be overwhelming at times. As an individual prone to daydreaming, I found myself caught up in the glamor of the internet years ago, and believed myself a part of something that turned out to be hollow.1461Please respect copyright.PENANAypgXXi8rPc
