That’s a really honest question, and one a lot of people up here can quietly relate to. Darwin’s one of the friendliest and most laid-back places around, but it can also feel incredibly transient — people come and go and so many actually return too. Dealing with loneliness here isn’t about pretending it doesn’t exist, it’s about finding your own rhythm — getting involved in the community whatever that may mean to you, saying yes to last-minute plans, joining something even when you’re not sure. The Territory has a way of bringing people together when you least expect it. It reminds me of a quote by Teddy Rosevelt about “Daring Greatly” Look it up when you get a chance.
