The "Friendzone"
Mar. 5th, 2015 06:18 pmI think a Facebook friend originally posted a link to this, but now I've lost who in the scroll.
I've been thinking a little bit about this 'friendzone' term that I so despise again. It's come up here and there on the internet. I want to share this bit of writing on the topic. The pain of the experiences the author is discussing moved me.

Loneliness
Mar. 5th, 2015 06:33 pmI really don't like being at school until 8:30 on these nights when I have a gym class. I don't get much done between my last regular class of the day and going to Yoga and Pilates. It's totally dark outside, which is kind of a reminder of how little time I have during the day. Nothing negative about the class on its own, but I'm glad that it will be over in a few weeks.
I attended the second meeting of the Parkside Green Party. It was just the organizer and I for the first one. We had a third attendee this week, so that's a good trend. I'd like to be more involved in politics, especially on a local level where I feel like I can make more of a difference. At the same time, I'll be moving at the end of the summer, so it feels a little odd to dig into organization now.
On that topic, I miss social interaction in general. It really is the biggest hole in my life right now in terms of things that make me feel unhappy or lacking. I am lonely sometimes, despite the relative nearness of people like Serinthia and Posi, whose friendship I deeply appreciate. Part of it is time, and part of it is living in three different places. It's hard to form a real social network when so much time goes to traveling on the weekends. I'm going to miss a lot of people here tremendously when I leave, but I'm really looking forward to living solidly in one place for a couple of years. I intend to actively form a social network in Syracuse, with people who are geographically nearby to me. I need more of that.
But for now, I have to run off and get changed for gym.
