Things Gonna Change

I've been in Melbourne about a week and a half, and these are the lifestyle changes I've noticed so far:

1. I walk or tram everywhere, except to work - I have to drive there. Work used to be the only place I didn't drive.

2. I exercise more, intentionally

3. I cook every day

4. I read and pray more

5. I have more spare time in general

6. My friendship circle is greatly reduced. In fact, I wouldn't say I have a friendship circle. This point is a proximal cause of points 2 - 5.

This leads me to conclude that having few friends is good for your body and soul.

How come I don't feel like that's true?
