Freinds and forest
I've had a lovely day, visiting very sweet verylongfarewell ❤️
It was a couple of hours of talking - I love when I meet people where we just start talking as if we see each other every day. I know we write on Discord, but it's just something else face to face.
We've met a couple of times at a café with our little local group of writers, but it was very nice to be only us in a calm environment.
I look forward to do it again!
It brings a bit of sadness too, though, I wish I had more people around I could visit once in a while.
Being an adult and make new friendships are hard, especially with everything I carry around.
I haven't given up, but I know it will take some time.
At least I do have some sort of social circle, training with the dog. It's becoming a safe environment for me, and I enjoy it more and more. I somewhat look forward to start on a new team after the summer, but I don't look forward to say goodbye to all the amazing people from this group. Though, I've been told the agility team is like a family. I hope I fit in.
But the dream of making a physical writing group came back on my way home today. I just don't have the energy for it. Sadly.
The local museum (very small and local) always needs volunteers, and I still think about it sometimes. Maybe in the fall. I know it's probably some old people and I'll stick out like a sore thumb, but it's okay. I just need some sort of physical social circles.
Oh well. One thing at a time.
Now I'm tired (I really don't sleep very well these days) and I plan on play Coromon for the rest of the day. I know, not especially exciting, but I did hit my goal of 5000 steps today, so it's allowed!
And dinner is easy, I just have to boil some rice and heat up some leftovers from the freezer.
Hubby only has a three-days-week next week. Love it. I need some quality time with him, some nature and the dog. And we have way too much to do.
I love living on the countryside. I just wish I had a car so I would have it easier going out in the world and meet people.
Sometimes you have to be without some things to have something else. And after a visit to the big city, I'm very happy with my little home in the edge of a forest. It's so quiet and tranquil out here. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Thoughts
Being an adult and make new friendships are hard, especially with everything I carry around.<<
For me it comes down to statistics. I have many traits that are rare, so I have little in common with most people. That means within the local population, it is unlikely for me to find a match of interests or tolerances. But online, I can cross paths with millions of other people. Even things that are rare tend to be findable. So while I don't have local friends who are interested in quantum mechanics, my online audience enjoys when I post news about that. And so on.
>> I love living on the countryside. <<
Yeah, me too. I greatly enjoy the company of plants and animals.
It'd be nice if I had more opportunities for facetime meeting with like-minded people, but the places and events where I used to get that don't exist anymore, or have changed so they no longer meet that need well. I grew up without them, though, so the lack is mildly sad but I have other options to occupy myself.
no subject
I know the feeling of sometimes wanting a bigger social circle, because the options are so limited due to my particular issues, but generally I've experienced that meeting people online first ensures I don't have too many bad experiences with meeting up IRL. Before we get to that point, I can weed out in people and decide whom I want to put energy into upholding a relation to. For me, that's the perfect middle ground.
I suck at meeting people IRL first.
But we had a good time. Thank you for that.
