The story

yo, so I moved to this new city a few months back for work. was hoping things would pop off, like I'd meet all these cool people and just become a social butterfly or whatever... but man, gotta say it's been super lonely out here. most nights I'm just chilling by myself, doing nothing special. it kinda sucks missing all my old people and the fun we used to have; feels like everyone's moving on 'cept me!

like, I thought I'd be hitting it off at my job or with neighbors, but nah, not much happening there either. people seem friendly enough but still feels like we're all islands. really didn’t expect the change to hit this hard but maybe that’s on me

weekends are pretty rough! 😕 you see everyone posting about their fancy brunches and weekend getaways while I'm here wondering what to do next. trying not to fall into any rabbit holes of doubt but it ain’t easy when you notice you've become your own seatmate at every event.

sometimes I'll go for walks around the new neighborhood thinking I'll stumble onto something exciting or meet someone interesting... hasn’t worked yet though! guess I've got too many expectations or maybe I'm just overthinking things? idk man

do y’all ever feel like this?? all in all... just needed to get that out. here's hoping eventually the dice roll better.
