A Place For Me

Friendship

Howdy, Y'all!

This is something that's been on my mind a lot. This word has taunted me for the longest time ever. It has so many meanings to so many different people. And the more and more I think about it, the more I wonder... are my friends really my friends? They're kind to me, but I don't think so. It's just that I don't feel like we're really close, you know?

Once I got a phone, I was so excited to get my friends numbers. But then, once I showed my friends, they just said, "Cool.", and went back to their business. Rossy, a "friend" I've known since first grade, said, "You just got a phone? How have you survived this long?" Not that I was mad at her for saying that. I've been asking for one for quite a while.

But...

Only one friend is in my contacts, Gabriela. Who I met in the 5th grade! She's REALLY nice and funny. I don't know anyone who doesn't like her personality. That's the kind of friend I wanted when I was younger, and I got her.

I don't wanna leave my "friends" I've known since elementary, but do I have any other choice? After all, there are a lot of other people that I could be friends with.

Do y'all think I should stay with the old, or make some new ones?

Peace Out, Partners
