I’ve talked about Friendship before (here). And how as an adult it is (for me) super hard to make IRL friends. Sure, I’ve got friends, but I mean real-I-can-call-you-in-the-middle-of-the-night-and-you’ll-answer-to-find-out-why-I’m-waking-you-up-from-deep-sleep kind of friends. I can count on one hand the amount of true IRL friends I have. I’m not saying I need a lot. I need the ones I DO have to always meet me in the middle, or pretty close to it. I need the ones I do have to be the person in the quote. I need to know that know matter what, they’ve got my back.
I’m on the road full time and work in an industry dominated by men. Currently I’ve chosen not to live in a hotel to give myself a break from 3+ years of hotel living. So I’m basically secluded away from my co-workers at night. That is both good and bad. Good because I enjoy being alone but bad because I’m still a people person and love interaction. I’m super thankful that through blogging I’ve met some pretty amazing people that I call my friends. Heck the ones I talk to on the daily I call my true friends even if we’ve never met IRL. My only wish is that we were all in the same state. 😉
Friends are hard to come by. True friends even harder. My IRL and blog friends mean the world to me. I cherish each one of you. You each make me a better me. I puffy heart you!!!!

Awww, I’m sending you a big ol’ hug and puffy heart too! I completely understand how you feel. I’m such a social butterfly yet I have very few ‘really close’ friends. It makes me sad, honestly, because there are times when I really NEED someone to give me a hug or send me a note or just BE here for me. What’s even harder to digest, the people I adore the most are my blogging buddies and hundreds of miles away. I think there should be a United States of Bloggers where we all live in happy solitude together, life would be better than a sundae with extra sprinkles and two cherries on top. Big, giant, huge, massive HUGS to you. 🙂
Funny, my post today resembles a lot like yours in that I posted about one of my favorite people every. One of my true besties that is there for me no matter what.
Thank you for the printable!!
I so agree. And making these types of friends is double hard for me because it can take me quite awhile to feel comfortable with you in real life and lots of time together before I come out more. Lots of people don’t care to try to get to know me as “me”.
