I feel as if I am drifting through life as an anonymous specter, without a home and no family and no friends, a disconnected cipher alienated from the currents of reality,
I am a loser.
Can I ask you all a question?
If a lonely loner has a brilliant idea but no one cares what he thinks does he really exist?
My only dream is to someday clean the spills off the floor at a local supermarket. And on my walk home I will wonder what other people are feeling as I pass them in the street, imagining what it would be like if they were my friends.
I am a dreamer.
Cheers to the white nights illuminated by my unreality.

My father always said that you will always be able to count your true friends on one hand, how right he was. I would rather have few real friends than hundreds of acquaintances.

I don't need any fingers to count the true friends I've had throughout life. They're as invisible as the air we breathe.

Ah well, then perhaps that other old saying is true? "To have a good friend one must first be a good friend." Friendship like all relationships require work on behalf of both parties. Sometimes they are just work period! Still worth it.

I know what you're saying but I'm constantly told by people that I'm a good friend and a good person but then those friends and acquaintences always end up disappearing. Can't explain it but I've never treated anyone badly and yet have nothing while people who are complete dicks to others all the time get everything. Weird how that works.

How nice is it to feel wanted and needed? Then you are wanted so much that time for yourself seems a rather attractive option. I understand the need for companionship, some need this more than others but feel that if we were really happy and content with who we are as people, we would not be so bothered by being on our own. I rather enjoy time to myself, silence and solitude whenever i get the chance but balance this with family, friends and peers.

OR You could get your sense of self-worth from personal achievement and not rely on the world at large for validation. Just a thought
