Not so very long ago, an old friend of mine from school passed away. It was sudden. It was unexpected. She was 32, only a few months older than myself

Funnily enough, I've been hiding away in my shell for similar sorts of reasons. I'm trying to learn to live my life without fear and it's bloody hard. So, uh, the point of this comment is simply to say "You're not alone".

I was thinking 'dive right in' was the way, but what I'm actually doing is making small incremental changes, and doing the odd thing that feels right outside my comfort zone in the hopes that my comfort zone will expand. :D

I guess social skills are like a muscle - if you don't use them it gets weak. The more you use it the stronger it gets :)

I'm too tired to be insightful and coherent right now, so I'll leave it at that.
