Quotes

“I think a lot of people are just really just starving for connections of any type.” - Nikki Spo

“You can feel lonely even if you have a lot of people around you because loneliness isn't about the quantity of your relationships, but about the quality of your connections.” - Nikki Spo 

“I think it's crucial that we start to become more self -aware and that involves taking a personal inventory of sorts. Being able to humbly, vulnerably, and honestly look at ourselves and our respective situations.” - Nikki Spo 

“Looking within and connecting with a higher power as you understand that higher power is really the antidote for loneliness.” - Nikki Spo

“Another antidote for loneliness is helping other people, connecting with people, places and things that make your insides feel good.” - Nikki Spo 

“Holding resentment is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die from it. It is poison for our own soul.” - Nikki Spo
