I just feel so alone sometimes and it’s like, not even in a sad way, more like a weird empty way? because when I first got here I met all these people from work and it was cool for a bit and we’d hang out and stuff and then it just… faded, you know? and now it’s just me coming home after my shift and seeing all the neighbors doing their thing, like barbecues and kids playing and I just go inside and it’s quiet and my english is getting better but it’s still hard to really CONNECT with people and I don't even know if it’s the language or the schedule or just ME being weird or what but it’s like I'm stuck, and I don't know how to fix it and it's so frustrating because I really thought it would be different by now—
