Sometimes it feels like I'm not a part of anything. There are so many people here, you'd think that I'd be able to make friends with one of them. But it always seems like everyone has got their own thing going on, or their own group of friends that they hang out with. Most weekends I just take a long walk, or go to a restaurant by myself. I've done some neat things alone, and I'm glad that I did those things, but I'm really getting to the point where I'd also like to experience things with other people. Everybody tells me: 'You should do this,' or 'You should do that.' But nobody says 'Let's do this,' or 'Let's do that.'

„What's been your greatest accomplishment?”
„Keeping in touch with distant friends and relatives.”
„Why is that important?”
„It's important to always have people who remember you at various stages of your life. It's especially important as you get older, because there are less of those people around. And they remind you who you are.”
