So I'm 25 right and I have no friends. I talk to the same person everyday but he's more than a friend so he doesn't count. ALL but about 25-30 minutes out of my cell phone minutes are with him, the rest is my family. I had a lot of friends when I graduated but I don't talk to any of them anymore for no reason really. I long grew apart from my high school friends though we held on to each other as long as possible. Kids happened (not me though) and just taking different paths caused us not to keep in touch. One person lied on the other and that caused an unneccessary riff though not talking was bound to happen. I have my best friend who I love to death who I just don't spend any time with; she was really all I had when it all boiled down to discarding folks and we don't talk now. My hanging buddies moved so I haven't been out in I don't know how long where I really enjoyed myself, I mean really I haven't been out out in a year really. Thats kind of sad.
Then I had my college friends who have all moved out of the state and doing what they do, keeping in touch with who they keep in touch with but not me. I kinda secluded myself but lines of communication has always been open; hell I'm on facebook, it just takes a few seconds to drop a note and see whats up. I've tried that but rately get a response or it just widdles off and we go anothter couple of months not speaking. I wish I would have held on closer to a couple but what can I do now. I spend all my time at work and at home, I go to target sometimes or the grocery store and that is it. I used to go out a lot, go to the movies and out to a bar but I havne't done anything because I don't have anymore to hang with.
I know this is a little pathetic but I just had to get this out. Its a little lonely my way. I've hit the end of the internet too many times to count and I've read a lot of books. I need some human interaction, a call or text even.
Well I gotta go to bed

I am a big fan of your writing and your blog. I think it is important for people to realize that going to a good school does not automatically guarantee success in life.
As far as friends go, maybe you should get involved in the community or some organizations, if you have not thought about doing so already. As the saying goes, "to have friends, you must show yourself friendly." Don't be discouraged, 9 times out of 10, you will be a better friend than your friends are to you. Why? Because people do not always make time for relationships. it is more a function of proximity and convenience. In any event, keep writing. I think your insights are inspiring and one day I know you will get to where you need to be.

Awwww I had no idea anyone was really reading this! Thanks for the comment and being a fan thats great!
Your advice is wonderful, I'll see what I can do about getting out more.
There are many people reading this. We just don't always comment. I went to Umich too, and life is hard period. Especially in Michigan. As far as going out, Esquire gave good advice about getting involved in an org. I used to do a lot of things alone, or chill in the crib with my boo. But I realized 1. When it ended with the Boo, I was devastated because she was all I had, and I later realized that because of that, I put too much pressure on her and it was unfair.
Anyway, I'm sure many people would love to hang with you. I'd kick it with a fellow alum any day. Actually, many of us hang out at least once a week, but prolly more since we have been partying basically everyday since November. And we were all 05s (even though I took some time off and came out in 07)...Use your network babe... facebook me. I posted a note that has people trippin...its quite funny actually. You should join the discussion. Oh...PLUS! St. Patty's day is coming up... we are ROCKING OUT on Saturday...well..and Friday...and Today...come join the party lol.
