I think I had a better sense of who I was when I was 13. I knew who I was friends with, and who I wasn't.
Now I don't really fit into any kind of friendship group. A lot of my friends went to different colleges, and the ones that stayed dispersed even more. I think I'm kind of a drifter now. I suppose it's good in some ways, because it means there's a whole load of people you're kinda friendly with, and you can hang out with. But, if anything, I feel even lonelier. I feel like an outsider now. I don't have any kind of 'unit' to belong to. I thought I'd be the last person to admit it, but humans definitely need to feel like they belong somewhere, otherwise they're just adrift...
