i love my friends so much

guys i am literally crying as i write this

for so long, even though i had "groups" of friends, i never actually had a friend in which i actually had deep feelings on.

for so long, i never liked what i saw when i looked at myself on the mirror.

for so long, i thought i was a loser for liking things nobody carnes

then i found a friend group in which i fit. i liked everyone, and they liked me back. then i ended up being a part of the group.

fast forward a few years and now i feel loved. i feel a part of an ACTUAL group in which i am loved and i love them back.

they were the first step for me to become a better person. get my self-esteem right. if i had to vent they would listen. and if they had to vent, i would listen.

for the first time in my life, i learned how to love myself. i learned how to talk to other people. 

for the first time in my life, i didnt feel like a lonely bird in the middle of a crowded city.

for the first time in my life, i liked what i saw when i looked at the mirror and noticed im not a loser, i am just unique and that's okay.


my friends changed my life and i am so, so grateful for having them.

I can relate so much to this, please never stop loving them that way because I'm sure they love you as much as you do.
It's so beautiful when you have felt alone for a long time and find people that become your laugh, your comfort and your home, I feel like some people don't appreciate friendships enough and rerely get to experience these type of connections.
I hope you can be with them for life, it's truly beautiful, you seem like a very nice and sensitive person, you deserve this!!

me senti mt desse jeito na pandemia... e tive uma situação bem parecida assim tbm, fico grata todos os dias pela simples existĂȘncia do meu melhor amg e por ele sempre ter sempre me ajudado a superar tudo q aconteceu atĂ© aqui por quase 5 anos, e fico grata de ter ajudado ele bastante tbm durante esse tempo.

tbm demorei bastante pra começar a amar oq eu sou e ter coragem de me olhar no espelho sem ter a vontade de quebrar ele, sei como se sente.

quis compatilhar um pouco disso... mas realmente queria dizer q fico feliz q tenha superado tudo isso!! ^^

aww, we have such similar experiences. the only difference is that for me they were irl friends, but hey, a friend is a friend independent of distance. im glad youre doing great now!!

They are real friends, I just meant that ive practiced my social skills on here! Back in 3rd grade I cried (Mind you I was intimidating and 5'3, taller than anyone else in the grade) over not putting a stop sign on the bridge project we made. Now I have muchh better coping skills from both irl and online friends
