I used to think I had friends before but I basically had people I would use so I wouldn’t feel so lonely.

I would call people or hang around people who didn’t compliment me as a person or draw out any of my best qualities but merely filled a void I had that made me feel empty.

I would go to parties and talk on the phone and invite people over but I never really felt like I had FRIENDS friends.

I had people I knew.

I had people I talked to.

But friends?

Not so much.

Until recently.

I started connecting and finding common ground and bonding and sharing parts of myself with people and now I feel like I have something.

I really, really do.
