Dear Shandrea:

33 years-old: seems so young from where I am, but I remember that when I turned 30, I thought I was old. If only I could be 33 now.

It was courageous of you to create a social media page so to hopefully connect with a high school friend. I understand you missing having a social life, and I hope you will soon have some (positive) social life: it makes a huge difference in the quality of life.

“I have trust issues“, you wrote. I used to have huge trust issues and because of it (and other factors) I was a very lonely teenager, young adult, older adult.. until recently. Finally connecting with people- online and irl- in positive ways: it’s a different kind of life, very different from loneliness.
