Out Of Place

[acacias_mom]

We just recently moved to Warren and there are times when i couldn't feel more out of place.  it is steadily approaching our 2 year wedding anniversary and I don't know anyone who is willing to babysit.  There are times when i feel completely alone and stranded here. i love our new house and all of the exciting things we have planned to do once my money comes in the mail, but being here with my husband can be so lonely.  I really could use a friend.  My friend Sarah from Thief River Falls was pretty much the only friend I have had while living up here these last.... 2 and a half years, and with her forgetting what responsibility and respect mean... I'm just floundering and alone.

I think back to when I was younger and I never ever had a problem networking. I was so active and the life of every party I happened to be at... everyone knew who I was, but that was in Alexandria... and here, I just feel introverted and alone.  I don't know what to say or how even to approach people anymore.  It's almost as though the 240 miles have changed my character completely.  I miss my family dearly... and most of all I miss my friends.

I wish I could fix this all and make all of these lonely feelings disappear, but they linger... as always, for another day.
