As I turn another year older, Im very grateful for having the friends taking the time to tell me happy birthday. As a person who has had to move around much of my life, I have come to meet a great number of people. Because of this, Ive always felt that I have not built a solid skill to maintain contact with the friends that I make. I lacked confidence at times and experienced pain because I felt sometimes if I become too close to a person, Ill eventually have to say good bye as we drift apart living our own lives. It was difficult because it felt like Id have to meet new people again and start all over from square 1 as I genuinely try to convey my friendship, so that I could experience the joys of fond memories Ive shared with others in the past once again with these new people. However I realized. What I came to realize is that no one is similar. Regardless of how or what kind of time and memory you (reading this) and I shared, I was unsuccessful in my ways of achieving the same type of relationship with every new friend I made. I admit that I was not able to attain to a certain level of closeness that I desired with every person I met. I was not some sort of middle man nor everyones best friend. Some may have viewed me as typical or just another stranger. You may never even have met me in person nor even have had a decent conversation with me. And this is OKAY. The best thing about the new memory and experience I have made with anyone that I came across to at some point in my 22 years of my life is that, it was different and unique to anything I have done with others. It has built me into who I am and though it may have been something petty or lacking significance, I still value the merit of our friendship. It is something unable to be replicated. May our friendship continue or may it not, I just wanted to write this long post to properly thank those who took the time to tell me happy birthday on Facebook (a website that is full of crappy dramatic things and spam at times, but connects me with all those who has met me). It is incredible to me to think that through all the years that we may not have communicated, you still took the time to leave me a simple message. You made me feel loved. I thank you for taking the time to read this post if youve made it here thus far. TL;DR: You are awesome for being my friend. And this is not a gay message.
