These past couple of days I�ve been �keeping company�. Get your minds out of the gutter.
*sigh* You�d have thunk I kept better online company seeing as how I �un-friended� so many undesirables in my real life.
Back to the story at hand.
The past couple of days I�ve been thinking over my �her�-mit like existence. What am I doing it for? Is this really what I want? How can I cope better? What can I change? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera�
Then along comes my Mr. Cooper. That�s not his real name, and for now I�ll protect his identity. Let�s just say it�s a true joy to have the company of someone intelligent and funny; when your best girl friend has returned back to the other coast and resumed her real life.
CC that does NOT mean you�ve been replaced. It only means I somewhat, sorta have company and I�m not as sad and alone feeling as I was, when you�d left.
Which brings me to this one thought.
The inner circle does not have to be so tight, and so impenetrable that I disallow a new person inside.
This may be the very beginning of �trust� for me.
