I’ve made friends! I know it sounds
hard to believe but I actually managed to get out of my university
room and escape. Through a really odd path I became a member of the
Christian Union and made friends from a range of churches and
courses. I started going to church and felt the most amazing sense of
community. We were meeting up all the time spending so much free time
together. I almost felt like I was spending more time with them than
on my course. I enjoyed going for them, the music and the message.
Specifically two people have had a huge
impact on my life. We spent so much time together doing a wide
variety of things from getting food out in kfc to sleeping round and
having flour fights in my kitchen. These people will be my friends
for life and I intend never to let go of them. We live so far apart
but who would have known what could bring us together. Life may have
been tough for us at times but when we are together we know all they
want is to have fun and not talk about it, and that’s what we do.
Knowing someone so well and thinking about living with them and
knowing them when they grow old is the most fantastic feeling. I just
wish one day we could all live together in the same old peoples home,
it would be the funniest time of my life and I'm sure we would get up
to so much trouble. They got me to go out and enjoy myself at things
I never thought I could. A true gentleman pigeon and a crazy little
puppy always. Love your seal :)
Since returning home from University I
have discovered old friends as new. Often when I'm at dancing now I
think I am so old and boring the young people would not be interested
in me joining them. But they just include me and I feel no different.
I’ve known them all such a long time that now they are older it is
odd to see them as mature teens. They have become friends that I can
have the most intense laughs with, we have so much in common and
think in exactly the same way, maybe this just means I am a child at
heart. Though a couple of them are very similar ages to me and we
have known each other many more years I am so pleased I have had the
opportunity to revisit old friendships and make them so much more.
This summer is going to be very fun and I feel very privileged to be
included in their shenanigans. I’m sure we will have many more
twisted and hilarious times out in the sun or prancing about to some
very strange songs. No matter how old I am my dancing family always
makes me feel welcome no matter how long I have been away.
So maybe I am not quite as alone or
friendless as I first believed and just need to trust those around me
a little more to be there if I ever needed them.
Goodnight.
