the flock

I feel like I've been alone for so long that I'm not excited to meet people anymore.

The unfortunate part is I haven't had the best of connections for almost all of my life.

But I do understand that my people in life, my flock, my gang, are out there.

I shouldn't give up on the hope of it but it all feels so out of reach.

Maybe this is a way of the universe slowly acclimating me to the water as I meet new people.

Recently has been the most consistent socialization, but I'm not thrilled.

Time will fix things.
