My Best Friends

     This year I have connected with a new friend group that is so important to me. Almost all of my high school friends moved away to college except for one. He and I have known each other for over 13 years, but we have really gotten close over the past few months since we are the only ones who stayed at home for college. I also have gotten really close with two girls from my young adult group. We had been friendly before, but now, we have gotten so close that I feel like I can tell them anything. We are the only 3 girls in our young adult group, so we really have to stick together. We have hung out several times outside of young adults. We really enjoy each other's company, and I am so happy to be able to call them my friends. I have always had trouble with friends. I have been told that I can be too clingy as a friend, but they don’t make me feel that way. They help me feel like I belong and not like I am a burden to them. It is nice to know that you are included because they want you there and not out of obligation.
