Hassles

Living on the other side of the country without family and old friends is a hassle. Meeting new people and finding common interests isn't as much fun as it use to be. In high school it was easy of course, we could talk about preparations for college or lack there of, boyfriends/girlfriends, sport or complain about parents and rules (or lack there of). Now I have to worry about offending people, politics, and other peoples children (and the judgement of lacking any of my own). I think that's why running is starting to become such a big deal for me. I can run and focus on my form and me. When someone else that is interested in running at fitness we talk about health and goals, nothing personal. Just the way I like it.
