    Things were pretty rough for me socially after I graduated. I immediately started to work at a job in town, while all my friends I made at school left. Then 6 months later the lockdowns started and any hope of meeting locals not from school faded. Fast forward 3 years. This month marks my first pride month being fully out, and I decided it was finally time to meet people again. I volunteered at all our local pride events and ended up meeting a ton of really amazing people. And I’m now planning on being involved beyond pride month and being a part of the org that ran our events

      That’s awesome! Congratulations on being fully out! I went to university in Canada but come from the states so I had to leave alot of friends behind. I’m trying to figure out how to both keep in touch with my uni friends and meet new ppl at my hometown. I’ve done well enough at work but I need to do a better job talking to people at bars and stuff. I also ended out having a pretty quiet Uber driver who I managed to get talking and is in a fairly similar situation, then I sent him off with my pretty toasted buddy… Hopefully no issues there haha.
