The time has come to swallow a bitter pill: I’m not an island. I have the mass for it, absolutely, but I can’t keep floating around alone. I need other people. After years of willing self-imposed isolation and hermity times I find myself forced to leave my cave. That “oh, I’m very happy with no one to call - I have books!” thing I’ve kept telling myself may have been a lie. The problem here is… I can’t mingle with the old crowd because I’ve changed but I can’t seem to reach those people half a step ahead of me yet. I’m stuck in the middle. You know those “my nails/lips but better” shades? What would be a good “folk like me but just a bit more positive and savvy” field?
I’m doing all the real world things (getting out of my apartment and out of my own way, trying to engage in small talk, finding places and hobbies of interest, not trying to be a miserable grumpy introvert, etc.) but I could use a sneaky energetic boost.
I’ve thought of:
-attract like minded friends mandala (brings me the old crowd mostly)
-charisma and glamor (gone, didn’t get it while I had the chance)
-plasma flower (very tangible effects but not a friend magnet)
-the blessed path (don’t have it yet)
Right now I’d rather have one or two booster fields than a stack. Just a gentle lure in case someone promising comes my way. Not looking for romance, just someone to be less of an island with.
