Get Hope, Give Hope

Hey all, i haven't posted here very many times so if you dont recognize my name, thats fine.

Just had a couple of things i wanted to say.

First off, i want to thank everyone on this forum who's here to help and answer all of the benign and repeating questions you get on here. Just so you dont lose sight of what your accomplishing on here, i want to say that even by only reading others q/a sessions, it really helped me get through a rough time i was having. (Not to mention its nice when you can compare yourself to some of the people on here and say to yourself "at least i'm not that crazy.")

Recently i've been through a serious affair with the pit of despair. Part of my (hopefully longterm) recovery is due to people on here who bother to show compassion and understanding to complete strangers. Thats awesome, thank you again.

So, heres what i'd like to do. Soon, around next week, i'm moving to Arizona to start school.

I'd like to:
-Extend and invitation to anyone who lives around phoenix to maybe start a friendship. I'll be new to the area and i'm a little nervous about being able to meet people.
-Extend another offer of friendship to anyone on this site. Doesn't have to be a serious consideration, i'm just looking to change my life a little bit, and one thing i've never been good at is meeting new people, developing long lasting friendships or even just open up to people, i think this would be a good way to start.

I'd also like to: Ask anybody who would like to share some or all of their life story with me to do so. I'm looking for Uplifting and original experiences that you have had and would like to share. I'm really interested in seeing how other people manage their lives, and what cool things have come from it, so please dont be shy.

Yeah thats about it, i hope everyone has a great day.

I also suck at making friends and keeping them, and am going to turn this around this time.

I have also recently (3 months ago) moved to another city (in fact, another country ) so I will have plenty of practice to make and keep new friends.

If you want to, I would like to accept your offer of friendship, and maybe we can encourage each other on making friends in real life as well?

Yeah, it sounds like a good starting off point. Life's always easier with a buddy anyway.

So.. Where did you move from? I'm assuming you moved to Mexico City, so how is that? What do you do down there? why are you there. And any other questions i forgot to ask, just answer. Let me know a little bit about yourself.
