If you’re struggling with friends, just know the right ones come

I feel like this is fitting to post on the day when I met one of my online friends in person. It was 6 years ago when we met for the first time, we have been friends about 6 and a half years. When I first met him I didn’t know how much of an impact he’d make on my life. I struggled with making and keeping friends for a lot of my life, as far back as I can remember. My first friend in kindergarten was not a nice girl and it took me until 8th grade to realize it and stop being friends with her. That’s not to say I didn’t have some good friends over the years, but most of them either left or we just grew apart. When I met said online friend, I was going through a dark time. I was 18, freshman in college, felt like I had no one who was there for me or really understood me. But now at almost 25, I can sit here and say I am surrounded by a group of people that love and care and understand me. It took a long time, a lot of pain, to get to where I am today. This is just a message to anyone struggling with this issue, you WILL find your people. It might take years but you will so please don’t give up🖤 life is so much better with you in it.
