another crossroads.

i've gotten past feeling sorry for myself. i know that I can change my situation with hard-work, dedication, and focus. even though financially, I'm not where i want to be, emotionally drained and beaten.. things can get better as long as i keep working hard. there's never a reason to give up, because what is life, if not a beautiful struggle.

my new dilemma (not really new, but my new focus) is: why am i so alone? i've gotten to the point where i feel like i don't need friends. monday-friday i have a very busy schedule that starts at 6am and is non-stop until 9pm, when im ready to go to sleep. for this reason, i don't mind not going out when most people i know are.

but then the weekends... i just sit around my house all day. i don't have anyone that i would like to particularly be around. it makes me a bit sad, because i know that most people have companions. i used to have friends that would call me to hang out, or a significant other to pass the time with. does anyone else feel like this? how do you cope with it? any suggestions on how to keep friends?

Just some obvious suggestions... find a hobby or do volunteer work to give you something to do on weekends.
As for friends... first find good friends or friends who you think might become good friends. How to keep good friends? Be a good friend
