Gretchen Lawson: A lot of people are really comfortable being alone and that’s okay. We were created to be in relationship with other people. We were created to be in and need community. Other people are very helpful to us. They help us tell our stories. They help us know that we’re valuable, that we have worth. Community is very important, and we all have hope that we can find community.
