Cautiously optimistic

[OnMyWay]

Get a hobby. Take ballroom dance lessons. Go camping. Learn to scuba dive. Learn computer programing. Go to the gym. Spend the afternoon at a museum. Take a cooking class. Go on job interviews - even if you don't need a job. Go back to school. Learn to paint. Take up photography. Go horseback ridding. Take a class through your community center about auto mechanics. Go sailing. Take an exotic vacation. Plan an adventure. Start a business. Learn Kung Fu. Go to the library and read about something new. Whatever. Just do something different. Do it for you!

Sounds like you are getting out and that's great, but I bet you end up talking to your friends some about your sitch. I recommend you apply yourself to something new, something different. Find just a little bit of time on any topic of interest and use it as a diversion from you sitch. Something enjoyable. Something you. Once you get started, keep at it. Apply yourself more and begin expanding the amount of time you spend on it. In the beginning, it will simply be a needed distraction. As you progress, it will become more of a passion, which is where you wanna be. You'll spend less and less time worrying about H and more time GAL. Do it. It will be fun.
