In times like these, I wish I could speed up time. Loneliness is a disease I had hoped I would never have. But now that I'm slightly older, I've stopped putting myself into situations where I'd be awkwardly standing next to someone. That act has limited my social interaction incredibly, creating immense amounts of times where I am alone. I float around in school, trying to find something or someone that will tie me down and make me feel important, but I've yet to succeed. My few friends have other friends, who are more enjoyable than an awkward, confused teenage girl like myself. I don't know if my loneliness will carry on well over my teenage years, but I don't have many doubts on that subject. I am easily forgettable and though I've made many efforts to change that, I still feel like a trend that is starting to end. It's as if I'm about to be ignored completely, like I'm nearing an edge that will plunge me into the dark and cold waters of the forgotten.
