Lonely

[qos]

I'm lonely -- which is not a state that is particularly familiar to me.

For most of my life I've been content to have a limited social life. As an introvert, I need solitude and quiet to recharge.

I suspect that having L&L around so much last year recalibrated my tolerances. I'm still an introvert, but I'm feeling the need for more direct connection with others.

Instead I'm feeling very isolated. I moved closer to my parents for their and my daughter's sake, but that's put me even farther away from the few close friends I have.

And the damn pool noise means that even my quiet/alone time is less satisfactory. It's hard to do creative or spiritual work with the shrieks and squeals coming from the pool for hours at a time.

Farther in distance, maybe, but not farther in heart or mind.
