I long for a place that seems so far away if it ever existed. There are good, honest, hard working people. There is a good woman running to give me good news and kisses. There's the flavor of hope on her lips, and the news is very good, indeed. Does anyone know how to get back to this place? I would like to know the way.

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

The most difficult time is spent alone in a new city. You're not a regular anywhere. No one knows the importance of the person behind the face. You are the epitome of the other. You are most vulnerable to the strangers who would take advantage of you during this time. The only way forward is to get out there and be seen. Have a playful opinion in a public space. Invite strangers to play pool or darts. Over time, you will find a niche in your community and you won't feel so alone.
