One of the hard parts of serving as a mentor or teacher is that once
people grow beyond the need for you, that contact inevitably fades.
When the topics that were once the center of the connection are no
longer relevant, I struggle with feeling like I’ve fallen out of place.
In some ways this is my own fault. I tend to cycle through
interests, with one serving as the primary at any given time. Normally I
would have something going on like a show to watch, a book I am
reading, a guitar I am in pursuit of, a video game I’m completing, etc.
Right now my hobby is blogging and its related interactions. Sadly,
this doesn’t give me a lot to really talk about… outside of the topics
that are going on for myself or what the people I am close to write
about. It doesn’t really leave a lot of “extra material” for me to talk
about.
This is one of those times where I feel a little lonesome.
