I know it's been a few days sense my last post. I've been having trouble with my computer.
I was looking at another blog (the one that I found that made me decide to start this one) any how one of the girls on there noticed the majority that was posting was females in there 20's.
I got to thinking, maybe it's not that we can't make friends, maybe it's that we can't decide where we fit in. I just got the new book from Oprah's personal trainer, The Best Life Diet. Oprah writes the foreword for the book. In it she writes:
Before I met Bob, I had spent years bouncing from one diet to another beginning from the time I was twenty-two. That was the year that I landed a big job in Baltimore and discovered that food-and especially corn dogs and six inch chocolate-chip cookies with
macadamia nuts from the mall food stalls-could provide a great deal of solace. I was naive, felt very alone, and was having trouble adjusting to my new job.

I had no friends and no furniture, not even curtains on the windows of my new apartment. . . .
Do you see that even Oprah Winfrey felt alone at one time. I have to believe this is a phase for all of us. It may be a longer phase for some, but that's okay. Use this time to get to know who you are. I don't believe that every person you talk to needs to become your friend. Friends are people you have stuff in common with, friends will support you, and encourage you. It is not a one way street. It is give and take.
