I don't know how to write about my life right now.
I've certainly been talking about it enough. I'm amazed my dad still picks up the phone when he sees me calling. I think Lori only listens now because I'm her Doctor Who supplier. I feel like I'm bringing down the spirits of everyone I talk to.
So I try to be positive. I try to think of things to say.
Except I don't really have a life outside of work. And I don't want to talk about work.
I feel isolated.
Greenwood was supposed to be my gateway to the rest of the world. And for a while, it was. I went places. I did things. With people, even.
And then people started leaving. And because I'm socially awkward and can't approach people unless they've approached me first, I found myself traveling in a never-ending circuit between work, my apartment, Target, and church.
It's stifling.
So I escape. I travel with a squire in fairytale England; a pilot in a galaxy far, far away; a team of serial killer hunters - I go to any world that isn't this one.
Except I can't stay there forever.
And I look at other people, and they are doing things. They have lives. They have purpose.
I don't know what my purpose is. I'm trying to find out.
And now I'm complaining again.
Why would you read this?
