From the Ground Up


 I've figured out what the most difficult part of college is. 

 Well, for me anyway.

It's this rebuilding of friendships.



Not just basic friendships,

not friendships purely for the basis of entertaining each other,

not friendships purely for the basis of not being lonely,

but friendships that surpass that.



The problem is not that I've not done it before.

Because I have.

And I love those friendships, and have no plan to lose those.


The problem shows itself in the fact

that I've never built those kind of friendships in person.

All the people I'm super close too live far away,

So most of my interaction with them is through the internet.

That's the medium that I learned to really connect with people.



To put it very simply,

I don't actually know how to build those kinds of friendships because I've never done it before.



Don't take this the wrong way,

I'm not complaining.

I love college.

And I love these people I've gotten to know so far.

And I can't wait to explore life with them in the future.


As with most of life,

It's a time thing, I'm sure.

But who knows.

Maybe here soon,

 a few of us will build a castle together.
