someone please help me find that quote about how someone was overwhelmed with the weight of the world and their problems when they were physically alone, but that weight felt like nothing in the presence of a friend and good conversation

is it this one?

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!

[ ID: Text reading as follows: Last night, I ate dinner with my friend Jenny. In real life, on a warm London evening, forking up aubergine from the same plate. We laughed, shared family news, told each other the things we'd been worrying over. At home, alone in my study, they'd felt insurmountable, a sign that something was irredeemably wrong with me. Under the gentle scrutiny of my friend, they diminished to a normal size: just the grit of everyday traffic with other humans. I walked home feeling buoyant, nearly invincible. I need my friends. I bet you need yours. /end ID. ]

After a long and dreary and especially cold winter, it is finally warm enough to wear shorts and a big tshirt to bed. The sun is finally out and I can pack away my heavy sweaters. My cat is snoring a few feet away. I have the day off and to myself. Things are looking up :)
