When I was in high school, the social scene was very important to me. I surrounded myself with lots of WONDERFUL friends, many of whom I am very grateful for, but unfortunately I got a little too caught up in the group thing. I was really only "happy" if I was hanging out with "the group" on the weekends, and if I wasn't invited (which happened quite often), it really devastated me.
When I came home for this winter, I was so scared because I knew that I wasn't going to have any sort of "group" anymore. My mom told me that I needed to become ok with my own company--I'm still working on that. But since I've been home, I've learned the importance of just having one great friend. That's really all you need to help you get by and feel loved.
I still love all of the people from my old "groups" so much. I got to see some of them tonight and it was SO great and fun and happy. :) And I always will be happy to catch up with them. But now, I'm not sad that it's rarer for that to happen. Having just one great friend down here is all I really need. It makes it easier to bear having my very best friend a state away. How grateful I am for friendship.
Love love. :)
