Yeah, because of my age and where I'm at, my Ward has very few singles my age. Most members are either a lot older, or married. I am involved, I actually design and print our weekly church program. I've heard of some classes in my area that I can take to meet people; I'm currently trying to get more information on them. The days aren't bad at all really. For some reason at night is when it really hits me. Probably because I used to be around people at night before I changed my lifestyle. I do have a facebook profile, but I'm probably going to start a new account because there's a lot of pictures and items and acquaintances that I'd rather not have on a personal page where I will have people from the church on it. When I do get around to creating it, I will look that information up. Thanks for the advice guys, and especially MissHalfway for the love. As unusual as it may be, even just a little note like that helps.

To be honest, it's both. Being a recent convert 99% of my former associates held a different lifestyle (i.e. going out and partying every night) and I don't really have any new friends except missionaries which are 15 years younger than me. Although they really are great, and we try to see each other a lot. I've grown really close to them. I want to move to a city/state with much more LDS members so I can really be surrounded by peers, but the problem is my mother lives out here (Washington DC area) and I don't want to move away from her. What I'd like to do is find work out in Utah and take my mother with me, and we can buy a house together, or something along those lines. Anyway, I still don't think people realize how lonely it is for people out there that don't grow up in strong communities.

Tell someone you love them. There's no lonelier feeling in my opinion than admiring someone and having them not reciprocate, or even reject you. Even if you can't reciprocate in admiration, you should tell that person you love them. For they are your brother or sister, and you used to love them greatly before this life, and you will love them even more so after. The Savior teaches us to love unconditionally. Rejection often spawns loneliness. I've been rejected a lot in my life, I assume most people have in this latter-day world. Rejection drives us into solitude. So lift up your fellow brother or sister by telling them that you love them. I'm a recent convert, so take what I say as you will. But it's 3:45am, and I was awake and feeling lonely, and so I felt moved to write this post. -coyotemoon722

So, is it safe to say that it's okay to dress however one wants on Halloween? According to LDS church doctrine.

What's the best sub-forum for these questions? I always hate making a topic as a new person with a question and then having someone say "THIS BELONGS IN X SUBFORUM NOOB, MODS PLEASE MOVE" While I assume that wouldn't be the case with an LDS forum, I would still appreciate the info on this, as I too am a new member with questions. Thanks! :)
