"This is the first time in my life where I've ever had a whole bunch of friends. I expect way too much out of them. Before I had allllllllll these friends, I barely ever had to worry about fake people and people who fuck me over. Now I'm realizing that having a lot of friends doesn't complete you, what completes you is when you get rid of all the fake people (or at least keep them at a distance) and learning who your real friends are. I used to think it was cool that I always have new people coming into my life and it isn't until now that I realized that it's not lame to still be friends with the same friend you had from 5 years ago. If they're still there for you, especially after all this time, that's all you need." - journal entry 5.27.18
