find my tribe

Thinking of abandoning this one. This goal was just a figure of speech I’d heard somewhere, that’s all. People who actually belong to real tribes don’t automatically get along with or even understand each other. I have a cat and a mother, and the cat’s right here. That’s enough. I don’t know if I’m really missing anything by not having what people call a “support system.” I would rather do most things alone anyway.

I have Martha Beck’s book from the library now. It’s good. Not sure if it can help me, though. Some exercises about goal-setting and friend-making assume that you have at least SOMEone other than a cat to talk to, and I really don’t. Not an exaggeration. But I’m trying to do what I can, anyway.

I don’t know.
I’m just

so

lonely.

I just took my first concrete step toward achieving any one thing on my list: I placed a hold on a library book related to this goal. ...yay.
