Maybe you didn’t need a crowd of support or a group of friends to get through hard times, maybe just maybe what you needed was the time alone, to just be free and be yourself without interference, without opinions and the pressure to be something while constantly forced into their presence. Maybe, they weren’t good for you. So you grow and grow each year with new perspectives and experiences and you just forget the choking feeling of being isolated even when you’re face to face and now all there’s left are memories of occurrences but no existing feelings whatsoever, and than it hits you.. I prayed for this peace and I have received. I may not have the friends I had sworn oath at the tender age of 14 but in the process of grieving my choices; with the person I tried so desperately to conceal from the world, I made her my friend.
