Hey folks.
I thought I would reintroduce myself. I've been mostly away from my daily presence at ALL for a while now. Things change, nothing stays the same, and all those moments in the past, can't really be re-lived; but, suffice to say, in many ways, I might as well be new here.
Not sure if I'll stick around more, or just touch and go like I have been now and then for the past year or so. Hopefully I can still connect with others..
I suppose for a little background, I joined ALL at the end of 2009. For many years it was like the food drip for my social starvation. I developed a nervous condition around the end of 2013; but, out of that I made a few friends, had a few jobs, attended college courses, and had a couple relationships. About 2 years ago everything started crumbling, and I guess about a few months ago, the last pieces fell. Maybe there's still more crumbling to do, and in reality, things started going sideways about the end of 2015; but...
What's left in the rubble is a job I'm not to excited about to say the least, and a multitude of other troubles; but, loneliness seems to be one of them.
Anywho, ALL was great for a good while. Maybe it was a poor substitute for the real social connections I should have been working on forming; but, ALL left me feeling not so lonely for a good while, and I even managed to move beyond having A Lonely Life for a while. I'm sure things have changed around here and I've changed too, for the worse it seems; but, thnx for reading, and thnx for any welcomes.
And, to all those with ALL, may you find a life that feels a little less empty, be it here if that's what it is, or elsewhere. And thnx for reading.
