I've made a few new friends this week, and reconnected with a few old ones too.

I'm really happy about it. Things weren't great since lock down and it's nice to have a few different groups to hang out with.

I'm a bit of a social butterfly, but lock down really fucked me up.

It's just nice to talk to more than 2 people all the time. I've just always felt like I'm an acquaintance to them whereas to me they were pretty much my only friends.

Neither of them messaged me to say congrats on my 10 years sobriety even though they knew about it, and I posted it on Facebook where they would have seen.

It's a relief.
