Although my family did not move often, I lived in an area where many of my friends moved often. I still live in that area and wish that I had chosen an area w/ roots to settle down in as an adult. That is because I, too, am a loner but feel security and comfort from my friends. I'm not a musician, but I'm an artist so perhaps there are some commonalities there... As I grew older, I became more outgoing so that many wonder if I was *ever* shy. However, my inner core would still be best described as introspective, however spontaneous and theatrical I sometimes appear. I'm intense, loyal, sensitive, a thinker, passionate, and feel deeply. I question so much that some are blown away. Other think of it as artistic quirkiness with an uncharacteristic left-brain twist tossed in to shake up the Seize-Her Salad that is me. Although I meet my responsibilities head-on, I believe there are many areas in which one should remain playful in attitude and action. Unlike you, I have repeatedly and brutally been betrayed by family so trust is eroded and gone in regard to them. It's a deep loss, but one that's not for me to fix. I'm still working on acceptance of such. The hurt is still raw after many years and cycles back in insidious ways. A small circle of longtime friends were woven effortlessly into the tapestry of my life from a young age. My friends are my family, gems whose eyes and voice light up my heart as much as I hope they feel my love for them. I dearly miss those who have needed to move,but life is an adventure and I welcome making new friends, although I am still choosy and wary. Once someone is implanted in my heart, I think I'm like a loyal dog who thrives on the give and take of deep friendship: that rare connection that sings through each of you in both planned and spontaneous song. To me, laughter or side-by-side comfortable silence is the crescendo. Oops, I became carried away by your post. From the moment I read your blog, I thought you'd be an engaging and unique person to converse with. Thank you for that opportunity on your blog. Your post resonates deeply within me.
