Something about this seems familiar. That's right, it is. That feeling after you've moved a new place...you feel excited, like the whole world is in front of you and all you have to do is step into it. You took the leap, you made the change, now it's waiting for you. But it's not.
You feel like you should have friends, but you don't. Or that you have somewhere you need to be, but you don't. I know this feeling. I felt this way when I did my last move. I got everything out of the boxes, the house was starting to feel like a home, and all I wanted to do was go hang out with someone. But I didn't have anyone yet. How does one expect to have friends within the first day of living some place. I don't know, but I do, or else I wouldn't be feeling this way again. My landlord came over to fix a few things in the house, and it was all I could do to chat it up with him.
I have to remind myself to be patient. This won't happen for you overnight. It certainly didn't last time. It even took so long that I think I finally gave up. Finding friends is one of the hardest things I think one will do in life. You are who you surround yourself with, so be picky. But don't give up either. That is my goal this time.
PS- Don't worry, I won't be bored all weekend. This little bundle of smiles is coming for a visit!!
Then Monday, I'm off to the new job!
