That's one way to get to know each other. Have a diary or journal. Each person can write or draw or just say hi. Anyone who doesn't want to yet, won't, so don't worry about that. Maybe you don't want to. Maybe there is already a journal, have you looked for one? That might let you know what you've been doing lately. If you don't have one, you can begin one, and tell whomever it is that is dumping you into life is causing you upset and write how hard it is to be out and not know people or places or things you should be doing. What do you think about that idea? (A journal.)
