I find it difficult to narrow it down to a few words and which words to pick. I am a 39 year old single mother of two young children, 4 and 6. I spend all of my time taking care of my children and taking them to all of their many activities and appointments. Doesn't leave much time for myself or establishing any relationships which is the only thing I feel I am really lacking in my life. I find myself lonely from time to time but have no idea how to change this situation. I have a great many interests but again can't find the time to pursue any of them. I imagine what the ideal life would be to me but than you always want you cannot have and the grass is always greener so I imagine once I obtained the ideal life my definition of ideal would quickly change. I am very guarded and keep most things to myself because in my experience people tend to use information as ammunition. I have a propensity to over analyze everything and every possible outcome to situation sometimes to my detriment. I believe our society has been overrun with choices and most do more harm than good. I believe everyones quest for instant gratification is destroying us as a whole. I feel sad for future generations. Some many wonderful things have been forgotten and replaced by easy, fast, and disposable junk. Basically I long for conversations with someone who I can relate to and can in return relate to me. Someone who shares common interests and goals. Until~
Thanks for this!

I wish more people had such strong conviction. It"s such an admirable quality to have.

Um, can I get back to you on it? All I can say for sure is that I'm 20, a boy, not particularly interesting, not particularly INTERESTED and have no idea what I'm doing most of the time

I am a 30-something year old, lost woman who feels more a like a 20-year-old girl who loves someone very much who she cannot be with. I am depressed and super-freaking anxious, with insomnia and OCD. I hate leaving the house, although I love being outside when I can be outside alone. And mostly I am alone, in every single definition of the word, except for my 3 cats...only 2 of whom don't have a DSM-5 diagnosis and don't take an SSRI.

I still want to know why I lost the options to thank, hug, edit or quote replies; maybe the computer know it all can help out.
Otherwise, I am trying just to be right now, on hold while going through necessary motions to get to the next step.
