I doubt it would be as difficult to start again in Seattle given that you already have an in. Although i can imagine that being in a brand new place has an appeal and excitement that would draw one out.
Ive been thinking a lot about community lately. I really have sort of lost the community I had for many years when I left my husband. Im not sure that anything changed with them, but it changed with me. I dont want to see those people anymore on a regular basis for some reason, Ive moved on I guess. The same holds true for some of my family and some other friends.
At the same time, I am not a loner. I am a very social person and have always been surrounded by people. Now, living alone for the first time, I find Im uncomfortable and am having to sort of get to know myself anew in this new order so I am seeking community. I like it and am having great fun. It seems if Im friendly to people, theyre usually friendly back and Ive learned all sorts of new things about people, my city, and other things of general interest.
