I have a single close friend in CA in whom my trust has never wavered. That's lame.
Two of my "proven faithful" friends are in TX. One is in WA.
All the other ones either aren't very close to me or have broken my trust at least once.
It makes me feel like there's not a single place I can really belong to. It takes time to have really close friends, and I've known all of my well trusted ones for at least 2 years, except for one.
I don't have any teenage friends out here. They're all old, and in their low 20s, or they're the kids I babysit and those kids' parents. or they're married couples from my church who I barely know.
Are good friends really that hard to come by? I'd never want to replace my friends, but it'd be nice to have a trustworthy reliable someone who isn't over 600 miles away and available by electronic mediums. The internet just isn't that amazing!

I know what you mean. I think honestly, as you get older, it gets really hard to make new friends and keep them. I'm trying hard to make new connections at school and church, but it isn't as simple as when we were at Calvary. In high school, you ended up hanging around people every day and building up your relationship with them pretty quickly. Now, even at school I'm never sure if my new acquaintance will just drop the class and that'll be the end of it. Not to mention you never know just who it is you're getting close to.
ReplyDeleteIt's rough growing up :P
Thank God for the friends He keeps in our lives throughout the years, even when we don't see them that often.
Yeah, I haven't met anyone around my age at church. I haven't even seen anyone who looks my age. The people I know are married couples with multiple young children
