Some of us never really feel like we’re not alone, even when we’re surrounded by people. For guys like me, and our main character of this episode of the Westside Fairytales, that means slinking out to the bar. Secreting yourself away somewhere dark and comfortable, where it’s okay to be a man on his own.</p><p><br></p><p>Thing is, that kind of lifestyle can wear on you. It can get too comfortable, and the loneliness might end up becoming your only friend. You become a man alone, sitting at a bar, waiting for friends you barely know, who might not show at all.</p><p><br></p><p>This month’s recommendation:</p><p>Literature recommendation: <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Historian-Elizabeth-Kostova/dp/0316011770\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">”The Historian” by Elizabeth Kostova</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening!
