I am so interested in finding people to hang out with in real life, not in an institutional or online way. Anyone nearby want to go for coffee? I feel like I need more face-to-face friends.
A woman in my neighborhood, who was known to all because she took care of people's pets when they were on vacation, died and was in her house for several days before anyone thought to check on her. I feel really bad about it, because even though we were friends, we had been neglecting each other in the past few years. I worry that this will happen to me, though I'm married and still have a child living at home.
