I believe that a large majority of us grow up with a distorted expectation of what life is meant to be like...movies and social media are partly to blame.
But there comes a stage when we must choose to strive forward...use what we have and make the best of it. Finding pastimes that we excel at or would like to excel at is a good place to start. Immersing ourselves in an enjoyable activity will not only get you out and about, but will attract like minded others.
