I'm really struggling with loneliness and would love to chat with someone! What've you been up to this week and what are you most looking forward to in the new year? (lemmy.ca)

Today I saw a little albino fish at work and I got excited, but I realized I have no one to share it with lol.

Some days the loneliness hits a little harder than others, and tonight just seems to be one of those nights I suppose. I figured maybe I can curb the feeling a bit by striking up a conversation with a stranger.

Feel free to DM as well if you'd like a friend too! Or if you're looking for some kind of connection that you can't seem to find irl. (Hopefully this is allowed?) I promise I will share a photo of my albino fish 🙂

an albino fish is pretty cool. i also find it cool that someone else found it cool enough to share their cool fish appreciation on the internet :)

i think i am going to try to start looking forward to more albino fish moments. i don't share a lot of stuff on the internet because I fear judgment too much. but Lemmy is exactly the place people want to see others' cool little things they found. so, i think I'll try to recognize and share such things more, or at least engage more with others' cool things they post.

Please do! I haven't been here long but I've noticed that the most popular stuff on lemmy tends to be political or inflammatory (which seems to be true for other social media platforms too). I'm sort of making it a mission to try and share positive and wholesome stuff, or just things I generally find to be "cool" or interesting 🙂
