I sometimes take long breaks from the site. I'm more than happy to answer anyone's questions, but just make sure they're not too time sensitive. :)Facts about me:
*happy
*employed
*married
*large extended family
*bisexual
*advanced college degree
*no kids (yet)
advice
a while a go i got quite sick and couldnt eat or talk for two months. i used to arty all the time but i found a new way to life, a path i wanted to take that included healing myself through spirituality, proper nutrition and exercise. all my old friends are not on this level and not even my step sister who i am extremely close with. i can't go back to my old life and i cant fully move on to my new life, because i am afraid i won't find anyone truly like me/people that are more mature. has anyone been through anything like this or a pivotal change in their life? and advice on the topic would be greatly appreciated
thanks, amber
This is tough, but stay strong; you shouldn't give up on yourself for them. You didn't say how old you were, but I'm guessing that you're in high school. If I'm wrong, correct me and I'll correct my answer! If it is the case that you're in high school, you're in a great position. In a few years or less you'll be off to college. College is a great place. Pretty much everyone is starting over and there are a lot of people so you'll easily find some that fit with your new style. I had great relationships with my friends in high school and we never talk anymore. That's how life works. If you don't see someone for a long time you will start to drift apart no matter how close you were. The worst thing you could do is go back to your old ways because you're lonely. You'll be sacrificing yourself as a person for a few years of being a little more comfortable, but not happy. Find things to occupy yourself for awhile and it will all work out. It's so wonderful that you've gone through this transformation. Don't let anyone (including yourself) take that away from you. Good luck! :)
