This has been a rough week. Work has been fine, but my emotions have been on the brink. We have lived in this state for a year now, yet Scott and I continue to feel like outsiders. The residents of this state just don't welcome outsiders. After a year of big smiles and outgoing conversation starts, I am simply tired of trying.
I've resigned myself to the fact that I probably won't form friendships with anybody in this state. I just can't break through, and the rejection is starting to wear me down. I'm starting to no longer give a f*ck, which is not a mentally healthy perspective to hold about coworkers and neighbors.
Thankfully the cold rain is supposed to dissipate today, leaving bright skies and warmer temperatures. I'm hopeful that resuming outdoor activities again will help to bolster my mood. I always feel happier walking in the sunshine.
