ennui [ɒnˈwiː] NOUN a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement:
2. As long as the thing you are looking for is outside of yourself, it will never be enough.
We need to be there for others. Some have it harder than others, but we have a lot of what we need inside. If we're up late scrollin, or drinkin, or datin, maybe you won't find it. It's already there, if we can stop looking.
