One day at work, my colleague told me that she hadn’t had any water, nor had she gone to the toilet the whole day, as if it was something to be proud of. Self-neglect must not be a badge of honour...

There's no place lonelier than among other people. I have rarely known anyone who has not felt, or doesn't currently feel, profoundly lonely. The successful ones. The married ones. The ones with...
