Epiphany, as per usual

It's hard to admit to yourself that you're lonely. To avoid the inevitable, I've been spending a goodly amount of time with two close, close friends that are leaving soon for the West coast. Strangely, their leaving has not effected me like a slap to the face, but more like just getting a sunburn...you don't notice it's happening until WHAM, bright

I've been trying to answer that question all my life.

*hugs* I love you dear, I'm not going anywhere...except for coming to see you eventually.

I miss you, wife

Heh, this situation seems oddly familiar...like I was just ranting and raving tonight that nobody loves me or something. It's a shitty feeling to have everyone you've known and held close to you for years, save your family, slowly fade out of your life (or worse, just plain leave), but it seems to be pretty common around now. Apparently, the summertime in your 20s is prime time to feel lonely, abandoned, and isolated.

As for what I do? Well, I come crying to you, of course! :D But seriously, I wish I could tell you what to do or give you some sort of sound advice, but if I could, then I'd have my current situation figured out, too. Us lame-os need to stick together, haha.

I'd recommend family, books, AIM (where I live...:D), and a healthy dose of shopping. That's basically been my plan thus far, and I haven't completely lost it. Yet.
