So it’s been a couple days since I’ve
had this class, but I do remember that I had to write down something that
affected me significantly, maybe even taught me something I decided to write
about moving. The day it all started was the day after prom. Now although my prom
only happened a less than 3 months ago today, so much has changed for me since
that day. Prom was the day I found my real friends were; let’s just say I don’t
have many anymore in New York. Everyone in my school knew that I was going to
school down south and everyone claimed to keep in touch and hang out before I
left but that definitely didn’t happen! I know they say college is where you
find your “real” friends but it would have been nice to keep these friends forever
since I had spent years with them in school, so of them since nursery school. But
people I had known for weeks alone were willing to hang out with me at the drop
of a dime, but the “friends” I had didn’t ask not once. Everyone knew that I was
moving soon, they knew the exact date and everything. So I spent half my summer
sad and alone because all the friends I thought I had left all of our memories in
the dust. The one thing I figured out though was that I really can’t depend on
others to be there for me. I have to be able to be strong all by myself. Although
I knew I would make new friends I spent my summer preparing myself to be
independent and ready to face the world.
Now although I wrote about this in
class I don’t know if I want it to be my subject, I just thought I would share
my brain process, I hope someone can help me figure out what I want to write
about. I am completely lost I will not lie, and I’m not ashamed to ask for
help.
I love this. Deep, very deep. I've never had too many friends. The only I did, and still do have, keeps in contact with me everyday and I'm so thankful for her. We've been friends for over 6 years. All I can say is take it as a life experience. People come and go. But, college is a great way of making long term friends as well.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are successful when you have 1 true friend...most can not claim to have true friends anymore..I feel the same way you do about things, and I am 28! You think those friends are great and will always be there, until it inconvinences them...then they are no where to be found. I am actually going through this battle now...best of luck and keep your head high!
