Friends

Chia,

You are at such a wondrous time and age!
I know this has been a tough one and one that hurts. We changed cities at a time when you were just settling in with friends and I know that you have felt lost ever since.

I know that it is tough and often heartbreaking, but the thing about friendship is that it takes time. Give yourself time and also give time to people who judge you today, watch you with suspicion, because you are but the newcomer. They feel threatened, they feel lost too. Give them space, allow them to discover you just as you discover them.

And then when you do, choose your friends carefully. Have all kinds of friends, close ones, funny ones, the dominating ones, the timid ones, the gifted ones and even the shy and silent ones. But have honest friends, friends who like you for who you are and not for what you have. Just this, use this as your scale and you will not often go wrong.

In times that you feel lonely, friendless or lost, look back at us. We remain your forever loving friends and you will always have a smile and a warm hug to come back home to.
