social life

[voveggie]

A few years ago I moved to a city 2 hours away from my home city. It's a privilege getting to live here due to welfare but it's so lonely. During my time living here, I've remained at the college local-ish to my old city and dormed at the uni so my social life was okay then. Since graduating I only talk to my boyfriend and college roommate most days. I do have my best friends back at home but we rarely talk because they're in the medical field and busy. Lately I've been traveling 2 hours away by train to visit my friends that are still in school. I'm a social butterfly and love spending time with people. Ive been good about spending time alone and have enjoyed it. But I've been wanting friends local to me. I've always wanted a group of gals to go out with once I hit my 20s. It's not easy going into a public area and proposing a friendship to someone uninterested. I talked to my boyfriend about potentially downloading apps specifically made for making friends in your area. I said I'd be totally transparent and honest with what I do because I understand its an iffy situation. But due to a past incident with his ex, he didn't feel comfortable. It resulted in an intense argument of understanding each other's emotions and over stepping. I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable so I respect his feelings. But still I wanted to find a way to make friends without crossing boundaries. I reached out to a friend that goes to school locally and asked if he had any friends looking for a new friend. I ended up making conversation with his friend that had common interests. But soon after she went MIA and I just LOL I'm not mad but all my efforts went down the drain. You can't force people to be your friend but I tried. It is what it is and I'm just taking it on haha. I'll still try c:
