I actually feel like I’m the poster girl for bored and lonely. I’m completely surrounded by people but hold myself off from allowing full connections. I feel unworthy on some level and since others have left me alone in the past I now push people away first to avoid my preconceived notion they will only leave me alone again. So counterintuitive but here I am, alone again …naturally. I’ve started seeking a way out of my self imposed fortress of solitude and think I will start writing short stories about a woman who is so desperate to connect that she disconnects. I hope by the time I’m done she, and I, will be found.
