Have a totally different life by this time next year

I moved…not far away, but just far enough. I’m on my own and have a few ideas on how to make new friends here.
Not a totally different life, but it’s small steps…

and despite a lot of effort on my part – NOTHING has really changed. I’ve even come close….so close…only to be disappointed yet again.

that something significant would happen in my life, but nothing did.
I made effort too. I stuck my neck out on job interviews, dates, calling strangers, looking for opportunities to leave this town, and so much more.
Nothing has changed. Nothing at all. It is so depressing. I wonder how long it can go on like this….it’s not like I’m not trying.
If nothing changes next year, at least one major change, I don’t know what I’ll do…
