I guess it just became easier to remain isolated, with time. I can't remember when exactly I stepped into this loneliness of sorts bubble. I recall being at odds with being, and feeling isolated, somewhere around 2011/12, and even tried to get out of it. And I did, in a way. That's how I made some of my current friends, in Porto and elsewhere. And how I met my partner, too. When I came back to Coimbra I got into the habit of getting myself more out there, by going to some classes, and even after I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a few weeks later I was shooting 📸 at a cosplay event, and then meeting lots of new people thanks to Pokémon Go! I was finally feeling like my old self, the Eloísa pre-isolation times, that I knew. And I was happy about it. What changed? When? I'm not sure if I truly wanna know anymore, but if I had to take a guess I'd say my loss of mobility and need for more physiotherapy than before was at play here. Hmmm... Yeah, maybe that whole year without PT didn't help, but stillllll... Can I point it as the sole cause for me currently feeling at ease with my isolation? Well, it's not 100%, and this year I'm having visits over at home, and I have friends, still... So maybe it's just a new form of dealing with things that makes me feel like I'm isolated, but not really being so, and thus me feeling so much at ease with it, maybe? 😅 Am I making any sense to you!? I mean, sure, I'd like to be able to go places more, and more easily. But at the same time, when I have friends coming over here instead that makes me more at ease with not getting out so much. Minus the REALLY ODD times I miss going out at night 🎶🍻 🕺🏻, I'm mostly just fine and dandy being at home, as long as I have my Wi-Fi and snacks... 🤷🏻♂️ When did that happen? Was it last year, after I missed WebSummit? Could that be the trigger for how I am, now? A psychological response of adjustment to my current mobility status?
