It occurs to me that I really have no friends here in Washington. In Alabama I had friends, friends that I was so close to that it was scary. I mean, I can literally feel a physical pull on myself to go back to Alabama and hug those people. It's really been a while since I've had a good and proper hug from a friend. In fact, the last person I hugged was Marina, the night before I left for Washington. I'm feeling a littl bit hug deprived.
And, my friends, I realize how lonely of an existance that I've thrown myself into. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, I want to travel my whole life because I want to see the world. But I've also realized that unless I find someone with passions similar to my own that I'm never going to have that opportunity to have such a close friend again. But I'm perfectly fine with it, but it does bother me sometimes, just a little, like a twinge at the back of my throat that makes me want to cry because I miss my friends so much. However, I will be in Washington for about two years before I head back down south to Florida for my Disney internship. I think I'll have plenty of opportunity to make new friends. In fact, I already have people I talk to on a regular basis that aren't just coworkers or insignificant people. But in m heart I know I'll never be close to people like I was in Alabama. These are people who I've grown up with, people who have seen me at every moment in my life up until now. Friendship like that just can't be erased.
