things have happened recently and I think I might need to make a friend that is more available.

I have friends and some are close but they are not as plugged in as I am so sometimes when I am in need of some comfort, I feel lonely and after some searching and googling, it seems that element is best for me given my distaste of anything app-based and my desire to upload as little information about myself to a public place.

but I have never really had experience with element and am not sure the best way to find a room of people who are friendly, speak english, and has a vibe I find appealing?
