Learning to connect with people (in the real world) is my major goal for this year. It’s the goal that scares me the most and which I feel least confident about, but also one which I think will make the biggest difference to my life. I’ll have to push myself into situations that make me feel uncomfortable, and maybe fail a few times. Although I’m a solitary person and enjoy my own company, there’s a lack of balance in my life resulting from too much time spent alone. I don’t really even know how to begin tackling this goal, but it’s on my major goal list and now my 43T list to remind me.
I was going to post this goal up anyway, but something has just happened which has prompted me to do this now. I just got an email from someone who was my best friend during my college days. I haven’t seen, heard from or spoken to this person in getting on for 18 years! I tried to contact him a few years ago on friends reunited, and it seems he has only just picked up the message I left him. His family lives just down the road from me and he wants to meet me in March when he’s going to be down here. I can clearly remember the very last time I saw him, and now, after all these years, we’re going to meet again. How strange!
