I've acknowledged in these very pages how I considered myself a social, extroverted person but Seattle might have changed me. And how Sk is the only person I hang out in a regular basis in this city of gloom. Sometimes I do feel lonely, and blame it upon myself, imagining that I don't have social networks and connection in this town, and I'm all by myself.
Which is a whole load of smelly crock.
I actually know a lot more people than I regularly reach out to hang with, and could know even more if I bothered to make the connections. In terms of family I have three people right here and now, plus sk, plus my comedy friends, plus PG plus A plus the whole Nepali friend group, plus other married Nepali friend groups I promised I'd reach out to but didn't. So what if they never got back at me either, they're married and settled with a house, and they'd probably not expect me to want to hang with them anyway. I should be the one to reach out to others. But I haven't. Because Seattle changes you.
Now maybe I do want to hang out, expand my group every so often. To get there I should be proactive about the whole networking thing. I will be. Sure, promise.
