I've thought about that too, when I added you to lj, that you've known me so long. More recently I thought about how.. odd it must be for you to be in touch with plexq now, what with how much he's changed, too. In some ways it's certainly very odd, time.

I think because of the need to sort out other issues first, it's a bit like a "late bloomer" sort of thing, but it's not so much that you're "late" as it is that you're just starting out when most of us had our teens to get turned downed and crushed and have reached this age with that experience under our belt. So, I know it seems trite and is but cold comfort, but I am quite sure things will eventually work out for you.
