I wish I had more people to talk to.

Long story short, I've been drifting around places and towns across my state. Lost a lot of people on the journey and saw who my friends really are. Sometimes it's better to be alone, but it sucks when you have to.

I'm in that boat too. I moved around a lot in my 20s and 30s, losing touch with a lot of old friends. It sucks, but I also really had no choice- it was either move to bigger cities that offered better jobs, or stay in my little hometown forever and struggle to make ends meet. I chose my financial future over my old friends.

Do I regret it? Eh, sometimes, when I feel lonely. But I have also had a lot of wonderful and rewarding experiences in faraway places that I never would have had in my little hometown if I'd stayed.

@DearAmbellina2113 yeah, that's true. It's a double edged sword. Got to see a lot of places around my state but also ended up in a hairy situation... didn't go well so now I'm back in my hometown trying to make ends meet.
