Anomaly Q3Xr Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So, I reached 40 last week and I have also recently moved back to my hometown into a flat that I intend to stay in for the rest of my life. I have no intention of ever moving again, I have no reason to. I am happier and feel safer here than I have felt in many years. I still have many mental health difficulties, but I am (hopefully) going to be getting some support soon. But, for the first time in, probably ever, I feel at peace. I am happy. I have my created universe to work on, which keeps me busy, I have three friends, two of which live 200+ miles away so I get holidays every 3-4 months or so to visit them, I'm rebuilding my relationship with my Dad and Aunt (I am closer to my Dad now than I have ever been, and he has done so much to help me in the last month since moving here). And I have my role on the Admod team here. Since I am unable to go out to work because I can't deal with being around people physically for that long, my role on here allows me to have a sense of purpose and to give something back to the asexual community, and I am really thankful for that opportunity. So, I just wanted to express my gratitude for the community here, and to my friends and family who have supported me (and vice versa), because I feel more at peace now than ever. I think the one thing that would make things better is if I could make an ace friend locally to meet up with for a cuppa, or lunch, or whatever from time to time, and maybe I will at some point. But it's just nice to feel such a huge weight lifted from me, and to just be settled and happy. 32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I love it here in my new home, and glad to be close to my family for support. I am heading to Exeter next month, but some time after New Year I will generally be able to start getting to meetups again, moving is quite expensive (but worth it). Look forward to seeing you again when I can. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
