I've also found that I'm very lonely. Before someone insinuated that I was lonely because I wasn't socializing and said something about being in college. Well, my response is that I have a lot of friends in college, and I do socialize both there and elsewhere. I am, however, not in college at the moment. My parents have moved to an island where there are no college age people except during the summer. I know what you're thinking, but Nathan it is summer, and normally I'd agree with you wholeheartedly and announce my defeat, but there is a reason to my melancholy behavior. Sure, there are a lot of college age kids on the island. The ones that I have been spending a majority of my time with I also work with. Now, I wouldn't mind hanging out with them except that the ones that do happen to speak English have a hard time understanding me. It's understandable seeing how it's not their native language, but there's a communication barrier right there. Furthermore, they are very clique-ish remaining mostly in groups from their own countries, and don't seem to be interested in spending time with me. As for the kids who are actually from North America in particular the U.S.A. they are only on the island for a week max, and I have no way of meeting them as they are all quite wealthy, tend to only spend time with their friends, and are surprisingly secretive. My problem is that a new environment like this does mean meeting new people, but it's difficult to only know little children and people in their 50's, 60's and beyond. I just either want someone to come visit me who's a friend of mine, someone my own age with similar interests or something to (forcibly I suppose) hang out with me because I'm naturally shy around newcomers, or someone to come live with me. I know that these aren't necessarily the most realistic desires, but I'll still wish.
I just had a crazy rant, and I'm glad I got it out of my system. I just want everyone to know that I love them and will talk to you later.
Hope all is well,
Nathan
