May we all find friendship and happiness.
I too am struggling with the loneliness of this life. I am 52 and have had a hell of a time these last few years. Loss of many friends (just falling away in general), loss of a very much loved avocation, loss of employment, loss of my dad, and loss of relationship with my daughter. I am struggling to build new friendships both online and IRL. I have cut ties with toxic people in my life, and that has been very painful. But I have also overcome obstacles and found new employment, and am starting the new year with a fresh resolve to welcome all people of good will into my life.
I live alone, with my 2 cats (God, save me!) and founded a small meetup group which seems to be dying out. I am trying to keep it alive, and yet, it really is difficult to find people that want to participate. I founded the group with one purpose: to make lasting, meaningful friendships. I have met a few women that are wonderful and hope they will become life-long friends, but yes, my life is lonely. It is not as active socially as I would like and my home is too tiny to invite people over. But I am trying to count my blessings. I hope to make a few good friends here, and share the burden with you.
In 2018, I found a great job, and self-published a book of poetry. Maybe in 2019 I will be able to back to school and hope to travel to the UK.
Would love to interact/chat with all. Open minded, non-judgmental, etc.
