I'm lonely too. But after the life I have escaped after 20 years, I'm happy. And its quiet. And my daughter's away from all the craziness too, that makes me feel good. I've always protected her, somebody had too. Wouldn't give her up for anything or anybody. That's what counts.
I do wish my social crowd was bigger here, but that's just the way it is. Guess my internet charisma or social skills are lacking. lol
