What do you do when you wake up to realize that you're once again entirely alone?

A promise of change that never happens. In this place, of all places, I was almost happy again. I could have been happy again.

But then I woke up. And I was once again completely alone.

How do you go on from that? Is it even possible?

Sorry.

I'm not making a good impression on myself, am I?

I was in a world for the last month where time stands still. Nothing ever changes, no one gets any older. Even there, even in a land where nothing changes, the virus destroyed everything.

[humility]

I can't say there was any virus for me, but otherwise it sounds much the same as what I just came out of.

Was the capacity for change here what you liked?

[wegotlucky]

Once upon a time.

OH. OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

[humility]

You obviously have no obligation to answer, but. Who do you wish was still with you?

Sorry not sorry

[wegotlucky]

A member of my family. That's all I can say.

[humility]

I understand.

I know it seems...maybe counter-intuitive is the right word, to offer to listen further if you need it, since you made a point of remaining unknown. But my situation may not be dissimilar and while I may not be able to help, sometimes it's enough to commiserate. I can do that much.

[wegotlucky]

Guess I can't complain about that much, huh?

We can share our stories.

[humility]

As much as we're willing or able. I'm not asking you to do or say anything you don't want to.
