[cloud_line]

I ran out of space at the end, but the last paragraph was: "Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm really just looking for guidance. I hope some of the more experienced programmers might be able to shed some light on this situation in ways that aren't clear to me right now."

EDIT

There was one other paragraph I deleted due to space limitations. On the topic of struggling with being completely alone at my job for the large majority of my workweek:

"I'm considering taking my back-end skills and re-training to learn cloud. I think this could (possibly) put me in a position where I can build on my coding skills while also working with other people throughout the day, i.e. clients, other IT people, developers, and so on."
