Midnight Worries & Fears #5

Midnight Worries & Fears Good midnight, lurkers! Relationships are very important in one's life. Humans are social beings. Family, friends, partners, workmates, classmates, etc. Friends are very important as they often are the first ones that you'll have outside your family circle. And as I said in my last blog, I have no one at the moment. (lol.) I got blocked by someone very important to me earlier this year. And that person unfriended me not long after. That shit felt so bad but I couldn't do anything about it. Mainly because I wanted to be the bigger person to everyone. To be the one to try to understand and forgive every one that wronged me. I just wish that the friends who abandoned me tries to contact me again. Probably because I feel lonely right now but the point is, I'm willing to take them back. This is a very short one, sorry about that. I notice that I'm thinking about relationships these days. I guess I just love a lot.
