Hmm. Well. It’s that time of year. Graduation season. I’ve been reflecting lately on the fact I graduated nearly 20 years ago. I find it hard to believe some days. And others…well…I feel the wear of years, the loss of friends, the passing of time.
So, here I sit, teary-eyed and stoned thinking of the best friends I’ve lost and continue to lose. I feel tears stream down my cheeks thinking of the friends that would comfort me now if they were here, or I there. I seek solace in vinyl records and chai tea in my solitude at 3 in the morning.
I feel more love than any other time in my life. I talk to my friends and family and know they love and care for me. They support my good choices and stand by my side as I resolve the bad decisions. The people I love are able to reciprocate and I do not fear they will abandon me despite my anxiety.
I’m waiting to live, still waiting to love
Oh, it’ll be over, and I’ll still be asking ‘When?’

Hi.

I’m your Imaginary Friend.
