Hey Katie,

I’ve done the ‘hang out with the parents on new years’ thing too. After a couple of years, it gets old. No offense to my parents because I couldn’t have more caring parent, but I just want to spend that time with someone my age. I think back to when I was a kid and they were my age now. They never were sitting around at home on new years. Heck, they were getting a babysitter or my oldest brother to watch us younger kids, and they went out a lot more on the weekends than I ever do now.
I am grateful for having my sons with me on new years. I guess I would like to have a little more grown up new years, in the near future.

It’s funny. Two women seemed interested in me again over the holidays. First, one around xmas, and then new years eve another one wanted to get to know me. The thing is, after exchanging a few pleasant messages before and forth, they suddenly stop, and that’s the end of it. I don’t get it. I’m polite. I’m not needy sounding and I try to just get to know them a little better. There is some interest there for women with me. Nothing seems to build anymore. Honestly, I don’t really care anymore. I started writing out what I want to try to achieve in the coming days and months. The relationship should start to look better if I am in a better place.

Katie, I hope you are doing ok. I guess we both have to believe that better days are ahead and that someone will be very lucky to find someone like us when they do.

P.S. If you are planning a road trip, then stop by here so that we can hang out hahaha
