Next step...

In my last post, I asked for leads for work.Thank you everyone that replied. I am now working.

Onto my next step...

I'd really love to meet some new friends. I've met quite a few kind people with awesome conversation since I've been here, but only for a few minutes here or there.

This is rough for me, but IRL I have a lot of barriers when it comes to making friends. I am 49 years old and have custody of my two small granddaughters. I work a lot, so there's that. I only actually know two people in this town (my roommate and my sister) and neither of them are around much due to their own lives.

When the kids go to bed for the night I realize how lonely I actually am. I'm not looking to date, just have people to talk to. I moved out here to make a better life for the kids and I because where we came from was small (800 people), remote, and miserable. Which means I lost importance to the few friends I had out there because I'm not on their level anymore.

I don't drink, I don't do drugs, but I do smoke and caffeine keeps me going. I love to laugh and have a dark sense of humor (lessons learned in life). ​I am goal-oriented, which experience has taught me is not exactly a magnetic attribute, but I'm also laid back and understanding that life's path isn't carved in stone. I have a blue collar personality with white collar ambition.

I would love to meet like-minded people who are conversation starters (because I tend to be shy and awkward at the start). *I am a writer, not a speaker. But when you really get to know me, I talk. A LOT.* ​

Hopefully, I can get to know some really cool people.
