I Need a Friend to Talk to Openly

I miss having a friend that I can text or talk to when something amazing happens. Someone to go to when I need advice, or to listen to when they need me. When I do think I am starting to get close enough to someone to call them a friend, something always screws it up. It's so hard to make strong connections with people these days, and that saddens me. My Husband is always telling me that I need to put myself out there instead of just wishing for someone to come along, and I try, but each time I do, I get disappointed.
