Isolation.
I'm not feeling particularly deep and meaningful at the moment, and I don't do navel-gazing. Just stating the facts here.
Our house is very isolated. Not from other houses or people, but from shops and amenities. Public transport is by bus and I haven't got to grips with the system yet. No train station is within easy reach.
As for shops, there are no corner shops nearby and the supermarket isn't within walking distance. It was only at the end of June that I discovered a small collection of shops about a mile away.
So I don't get out much and I haven't met anyone yet that I think I could call a potential friend. Well, I have, but they're leaving this month. Typical!
Luckily for me I enjoy my own company. However, I do realise that socialising is necessary for mental wellbeing so I hope when the summer holidays are over, I can find ways of meeting other people.
In the meantime, I shall continue to talk to all the lovely people inside my computer (and the ones in my head... oh, should I not have said that?!)
