“There is no good word for the opposite of lonesome.
One might be tempted to suggest togetherness or contentment , but the fact that these two other words bear definitions unrelated to each other perfectly displays why lonesome cannot be properly mirrored.

Lonesome means a state of being apart. Of being other. Alone-some.”
― Blue Lily, Lily Blue
