I am totally failing at GAL! I am hoping once I have my place back I will be more successful, as I love my projects.

What HAVE I done to GAL?
I reconnected with some friends, and expanded on other friendships. Many of which have also gone through D.
Two of these friends are girls, ones that we have no interest in dating each other.
FF1 (female friend 1), I was friends with not too long before meeting W, and dated for a short time... should have just stayed friends though. She stated that I was probably the best friend she has ever had, even now 20+ years later. That comment felt good.
FF2, I was good friends with for many years in elementary through junior high school. After only texting her for a few days, I was THE choice of someone to talk to about something semi serious in her life. That felt good also.
