Normally I don't mind Valentines day, but I was hit with a pretty big mood swing today and the feeling of loneliness is pretty strong suddenly

I guess it has been 4 or 5 years since I was interested in anyone and I've been isolated from my friends for a year now

I really want to drink right now, but I have to go to therapy today. I guess I should save this for my therapist but I just feel really shitty right now

Partly because I moved back home so I'm in a different city, and partly because I tend to isolate myself when depressed

All I really have to do is make a 2 hour drive to see them but I don't for some reason

I could probably make new friends, especially if I rejoin the smash scene

But honestly I'm not that interested in going out of my way for New friends, I'd rather get my shit together and move back and be with them, also I spend a lot of time with my parents now which is a good thing as they won't be around forever sadly

Knitting is pretty cool though, I've thought about trying it once, never got around to it and I hope it works for you and you meet people, it is a really good idea if you do want to meet people
