Thank you for sharing so openly. What you’ve described — growing more inward with time — is something many of us can relate to. There’s something beautiful and even necessary about the quiet joys you’ve named: time with pets, good books, meaningful shows. And staying connected through your spiritual community and garden club sounds like a life thoughtfully rooted.
It’s okay to value solitude and still miss the closeness of old friends. You’re not alone in holding both. We’re grateful to have you here with us — and hope this space can offer a bit more connection when you need it.
