So, I woke up last Aug, on vacation, and it was like a cloud had been lifted. I was over being heartbroken, and I was over being alone. It was quite the epiphany!!! So it really all started with me wanting to get into shape. I lost 45 lbs, started dating, and just had a new outlook on life. Funny....before....I had no interest in Facebook, or texting, of much of anything social(my social life consisted of hanging out at a neighborhood redneck bar....there were a lot of good friends there, but it wasn't much of a life). Now, I'm a FB addict, and have friends out the ying yang, and party invitations constantly.
I did actually go on a vacation, by myself, 3 weeks ago, and I'm going again, next week, but I'm okay with that. Texting and FB on my phone, make it almost like being home with friends.

But, for the most part, I've murdered the loner in me.
Ahh I can relate, I've only been in love once but that ended badly enough to put me off it for the foreseeable future! I've rekindled a few friendships though and have cut some horrible "friends" out of my life. Hard to avoid them at school and all but it's going well... I'll probably never completely stop being a recluse, but I'm a lot more confident now and I'm ready to start having some kind of social life again
