Fine, i guess. No real change. Kind of feel like i just exist week to week.
Im pretty introverted and have become increasingly frustrated with loneliness over the last five years or so. I wanted to make more of an effort to be more social with friends an co-workers this year. Its going pretty well. Been joining co-workers for beers more often. Been bowling. Go-Karting. Hit up a concert not long ago and went to a friends house for dinner to celebrate their birthday etc So, hoping i can keep it up.
Also been more serious about the gym and am now slowly seeing results. So thats a fun new hobby!
A big kicker was finding out this girl ive been hanging out with and getting increasingly close to has a boyfriend. So that was a gut punch. Feel like it set me back mentally, but im just gonna have to get over it i guess.
Having ups and downs. Just feel tired a lot, really.

One good thing about finding out she has a boyfriend is that you now know what’s up. You won’t be caught off guard later and risk hurting your friendship. Just keep being a good friend. You might even get introduced to some of her single friends, and who knows, her situation might change in the future. Even if nothing more than friendship develops, having a cool female friend to bounce ideas off is always a plus.
