Friends or the Lack Thereof

*scrolls through contact list in my phone*

Now that I’m home I am reminded of how few friends I actually have here in New York. I can literally count them all on one hand…and still have a few fingers to spare. *sigh*

Now I know that in life all you need are a few really good friends, and don’t get me wrong, I have known these three people for the majority of my life, but sometimes I just wish I had more of a choice. Not to lessen their value in my life, but I mean really…all of my friends are workaholics! I hate love that about them, but they are usually not available when its prime time for hanging out–including weekends.

I know I need to “make more friends” but truthfully, I have no clue where to begin!! New York is a whole different world than what I am used to. I am not really sure how to approach people lol. I mean, I am not enrolled in any school here, I don’t know where any of the “hangout spots” are. My peers up here in the Big Apple are much different than my peers down in Louisiana. To be frank, New Yorkers are assholes down right mean!! People in them south are friendly, they speak to you in passing whether they know you or not. Ugh!! Why do things have to be so difficult?!

I miss my friends. The one’s back in Louisiana…they get me. Honestly I don’t like the idea of starting over…though some of you may not know it, I am terribly shy. Granted, I love getting to know people, but it’s that first encounter, those first few words that frighten me most. I don’t want to be rejected or thought of as weird or laughed at. What’s a girl to do?

Well, luckily I have some “friend time” this weekend…and I get to reacquaint myself with this gorgeous man ^_^. Wish me luck folks! Perhaps something will come of this adventure! 😉

Ciao lovers and friends!
