While this whole 'unable to love' thing isn't the reality: I'm fully capable of love, but I realised that people hated me.


And most of my close relationships were professional ones before the saga. But honestly after my journey, I'm in the market for friends rather than co-workers.


My office job is supplying the bare minimum social contact, and that's helping. But everything else has been all about the work. Me too, but yeah NYE was when I realised I was alone.

I like my tapes, and as I say, if I'm actively surveilled, then I put them up for my own self-interest rather than for entertainment value.
