It can be a lonely road without companions - you'll find plenty here CL. I think this is usually a good place to make friendships because most of the poetic types tend to be shy, humble and not here for any glory. It's just a really good way to express anger, hurt and the other million emotions that broken relationships and lives can make us feel. I was lucky enough to find the love of my life here and can only wish that everyone else could do the same.
There are of course some real jokers here to brighten the days - hedistuff and goodguy2have are a hoot You will make friends, the rest - well that may or may not happen, who knows?
