I pretty much feel alone all the time. Most of my friends are either married with kids/families or they just live too far away. It sucks monkey balls. I miss being around family. Having my brother move here has helped slightly, but we are 2 completely different people so it is hard in that regard, plus he works late and I work a typical 9-5 M-F job. He works for a well known restaurant and they are only open for dinner. He leaves at about noon and isn't home usually until 2-3am. He moved here to Chicago from Portland just for this job.
