Lets Talk Better, May 2023

Lonliness.

It's no secret that feeling alone can be tough, especially when you're surrounded by people. But let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture - sometimes being alone can be a good thing. You can finally have the remote control all to yourself, sing as loud as you want without worrying about judgement, and eat that entire pizza without having to share a single slice.

But, of course, there are times when being lonely can be a really awful. It's important to remember that you're not alone in feeling alone (say that five times fast). There are plenty of people out there who are just like you, looking for their tribe.

So, how can we combat loneliness in the community? Well, for starters, let's put down our phones and actually talk to each other. Maybe even strike up a conversation with that stranger at the coffee shop. Who knows, they might become a friend. And if all else fails, there's always the local cat cafe - because let's be real, cats are the ultimate cure for loneliness.

In all seriousness, loneliness is a real issue and it's important to address it. So let's band together and make an effort to connect with each other. And who knows, maybe we'll even have a laugh or two along the way.

Lets Talk Better is a group of locals trying to combat that feeling. They are striving to education and bring awareness to Bromley, and Quest is part of that journey. Check out some pictures of Mercedes in action, and send us a message if you would like to get involved.
