Had a lot of feelings this morning. I don't talk with some of old friends the same way, and even though they're still in my life, I think we don't have what we had any longer. But now I have a bunch of new friends, ones that I actually know in real life. I'm learning that there is a huge difference between friends I can only speak to, and friends I can meet in person and do things with. I hope I get to have something similar with these people I am now meeting. I've never had real friends in real life before. I had the immature little kid friendships, yes, but once I hid middle school something changed, and I haven't been able to connect with anyone outside of my boyfriend for many, many years. And now that I've dedicated time to coming to local furry events over and over again, I finally have... a friend group? And plenty of acquaintances too? I don't really know what to do with myself about it. Drawing this sure made me feel a hell of a lot better, though, I feel like I can actually go about my day without feeling twisted up and anxious anymore.
