For me it's become more difficult to get to know new folks. I've realized that being technically an active duty family who isn't actually living the typical military life has placed me in a strange void between two worlds, neither of which I feel a part of. Perhaps it's irrational, or real, but I don't feel totally welcomed in either. Frequently I'm told "you've been here forever" or "you're still here!"
Yeah, thanks...
Such as it is, I know there are many wonderful folks out there. Perhaps many wonderful potential friends nearby in my own neighborhood... probably not my direct neighborhood, but.... Our fast paced society isn't necessarily the easiest tempo in which an aloof sort thrives in.
I miss blogs from 10 years ago, when holed up housewives could blog, and get to know one another during even nonconforming naps or bedtimes. I miss the days when one could nurse at the keyboard and vent the frustrations of the everyday life.
But now a blog needs to have content of elevated academic substance. They're not worthy of anyone's time unless they can go viral and spread some highly insightful epiphany, or heinously hilarious hijinks. Blogs aren't read to forge friendships anymore.... at least not like they used to be.
I miss that though.
