I’m no stranger to feeling lonely. I’ve been alone for a hella long time independent of the year I dated a man here in Guatemala. That was over a year ago. I’m also not getting any younger. I don’t want to spend the next 10 or 25 years alone. It just doesn’t interest me, at all. Dealing with loneliness honestly isn’t the easiest, amirite?

Now I do have to say that I love my own company. I work a lot so I don’t really have time for a partner anyway. I mean, I could certainly make time if i had one. As it stands right now, I’m just trying to learn how to deal with loneliness.

About a month or so ago someone had put out a call for foster homes for stray puppies. I jumped on it. Why? Because having another body in the house, even though it’s a furry one, will help me cope with this loneliness. I think. At the very least, it’s a really good distraction.

Feeling sad and depressed

Tonight as I sit here and type this, I am most certainly feeling lonely. That’s where this blog comes from. I like to write through my feelings. It helps me. A lot. I’m not sure I can go so far as to say I’m depressed but it’s pretty darned close. I’m feeling sad tonight. Truth be told.
