new experiences! What I've been up to

Hello SpaceHey, I've been AWOL for a while again, but boy do I have a lot to talk about! I'll sum things up as short as I can.

First of all, I'd like to say that finding love and making a relationship last online is impossible. I did it AGAIN on here - spent a lot of time on a SpaceHey girl who ultimately would leave me due to distance and other factors - which is why I've been socializing with people in real life, going to my local rock club and putting myself on dating apps and stuff like that. The whole thing made me realize I've been dedicating myself to one person for longer than I can remember.
Wow. What an experience. I've met a few people, made a lot of friends, gone on a couple dates, done a ton of stuff I probably shouldn't talk about on here... hell I even met someone irl who also has a SpaceHey, so that's cool.

My grandpa died a few months ago, which hit me extremely hard. I have no one in my family left who I feel I can comfortably talk to or get along with. So my lesson there is to always cherish the family members you have while you still can.

I had my first kiss a while back. Honestly was kinda underwhelming, I thought it would be a lot more. Maybe I need to make a real connection for it to feel good.

There's a person I like... like, really like, and I know they like me back. I'm hoping to date them eventually, but whatever happens happens. As soon as I get paid I'm gonna take them out to dinner wherever they want.

With a combination of epic photobombing skillz and pure luck, I got in a lot of pics on the club's Facebook page - they're all extremely unflattering and funny!

this one's great. Look at all the smoke!

Anyway, to put things simple, I had a predictable breakup, did a ton of social stuff I shoulda started doing as a teenager, and have went from online to real life with my love life. It's been one hell of a ride and I want it to keep going!
