I never thought I would be back here. Not that I don’t like being here, it’s just that apparently I didn’t need to be here for 3 months. Or maybe I just forgot I could be here; I feel like home here. Aaaanyways…
After what I thought would be the worst semester in high school, my only 2 true friends are back (at least the only friends that don’t get sick of me or look at me as an option to pick from the bunch). And yes, I was right, that last semester was the worst. Ever. Although it wasn’t as bad a I had imagined at the beginning. I forced myself into meeting new people, and many would think that was a huge step and a positive one for me. Well… no.
Without my true friends, I started looking acceptance in others for the past 4 months and developed an even bigger emotional dependence in other people I shouldn’t have.
Long story short, I met a lot more people, and I feel more rejected and lonelier than ever. Incomplete. Especially when I see around and everyone is finding their significant other. Everyone but me. 18 years have passed and I still haven’t changed in that aspect.
And worst of it all, I still feel like an option to everyone. It’s like I may have friends, but they have friends that are funnier and more important than me. It may sound selfish, but I wish I could find someone who has me as their only priority. Someone who would like me as I am. Someone who could understand me.
Oh well. If you read up to this point, thank you, and I hope your 2017 is not a cruel nightmare as my 2016 was.

I can relate to so much of this…especially the friend part. I have a friend that I have been such a good friend to and she refers to me as her “bestie” and she has pictures of all these other people. People that she barely talks about, or to, on her fridge,in frames on shelves….but not one picture of me or of me and her….I always thought it was weird. She considers me her best friend and yet no pictures of me are displayed at her home….so how much of a bestie am I?…friendships can be so weird.
I too feel like I am sometimes just an option to pick from like they think “well I have nothing better to do so I guess I’ll hang with her.”…so I get ya.
