I am sorry you are struggling right now. I can't disagree with much you've written - my personal circle is very, very small. The people in that circle however, when I call them at 3am and say, "I need you now," they don't ask questions, they are on the next plane. And I do the same for them. Anyone else has no place in my life.

Living that way sounds very lonely to most people - but you know, whether my friends are laying next to me in bed or every one of them is ten thousand miles away, I know I'm never alone.

I've offered my daughter just one piece of advice on her friends: Don't make anyone a priority in your life when you're just an option in theirs - anyone.
