Wow, as always, this post also hits deep. Well done! I hope to write as well as you do someday.
Now, here's what I think... You know, It’s funny how people like to argue that through technology, we are now more ‘connected’ than ever when, we’re actually more isolated. Yes sure, thanks to the digital presence, we can now have friends all over the world, but what happens to the actual physical connection with people around us?

Childhood does not even feel like childhood anymore for this present generation. I see a lot of kids these days and I feel genuinely sad because, why are children being forced to act or dress like adults?

I remember when being outside, taking a family evening stroll or just visiting your friend to gist were a thing. Now, it’s like everyone is either too busy, too tired, or too glued to their screens (myself included, not gonna lie).

The part about loneliness being an epidemic? 100% true. I see it everywhere, even personally. It’s almost like we’ve forgotten how to just hang out with people. No phones. lol, most hangout now are for the sole purpose of creating contents for social media. It shouldn't be like that. These things don't foster real connections.

I don’t know what the solution is, but I do know that nothing can replace real human connection. We will all need it sometimes. Or maybe people just have their people you know, but for us to create a true sense of community, connection should be made to thrive not only within "our" people, but even with others. Bonds are formed not by blood but by consistent engagement with people.

Perhaps we all need to try a little harder to be present. To look up from our screens. To visit people. At the end of the day, community is needed, for the continuity of humanness. We are not robots afterall.

I also love your point about kids not being pressured to move out of their parent's homes. Although, sometimes, it's easier to love your family from afar. However, wanting to stay away from one's family should not be the major reason for moving out.
