Oh my goodness Phoebe, I could have written so much of everything you wrote!
One of my 180s has been building friendships. Friendships with people (mainly women) of all ages. I'm really enjoying this.
And when I feel down because of what's happened and is still happening, I'll drop one of them a line and arrange a coffee date. I try and go on these at least once a week, and twice if possible. And it counts as GAL too
I'm really an introvert. I find being with other people quite tiring. But I'm also learning that I get a lot back in so many different ways. And we don't necessarily have to talk about what's going on in my life. It's actually a relief not to sometimes.
