One of my roomates said, "You've been kinda living in your own world lately..." I guess it's true... I am selling two of my three guns, but guns aren't the culprit here. My roomates are just strongly anti-gun.
I've faced adversity before, although this kinda traverses new realms.
As far as the "severing of ties" goes, well, it looks just like they're doing that right now.
You should've seen me just a year ago. I was super-shy, super conservative, and didn't have a social life at all. I couldn't even order my own food at McDonald's for being so timid. That might've driven me crazy. Right after I met a friend (first in a long time), over the summer, I've tried to do everything differently, live life differently, and although it sounds insane, I feel better and more satisfied (I met everybody else through this new friend). I'm no longer painting model airplanes or singing karaoke by myself on a Friday night (so to speak). Life has become a bit treacherous, though. First the alcohol (I used to hate alcohol with a passion; still kinda do), then the guns (although anti-gun sentiment is the only big deal with these), and some other things (like maxing out three credit cards just to keep this all up).
.........but it looks like things will return to the way they were, not that I'm happy about it. I'm actually more scared of going back to the old life. It'll be just like a "15 minutes of fame" phenomenon, but it'll give me plenty of time to reflect.
