I wish my friends would reach out to me. At least one of them. None of them want to be my friend anymore. Y'know, I don't know really how I would handle it if they did get in touch and want to talk again. Would I have to tiptoe around? The things that defined our friendship in the first place seems to spit in the face of walking on eggshells around each other though. What would I even sound like if Luke called me up one day? "Hey! Whoa, didn't expect to be hearing for you of all people! Haha, how's it been man?!" Or something more familiar maybe: "Sup fa99ot, you all done bleeding between the legs and wanna play some vidya when I get home?" I like to believe that I could flip that switch regardless of any amount of time that has passed between us, that it would be like no time has passed at all and we could just pick up where we left off. Getting drunk and sh!tting on each other, sh!tting on everything and everyone that we want. Just laughing. Maybe that's impossible though. Maybe it would be all awkward silence and wading through trying to ask him unanswered questions about why he wanted to move on anyway. He wanted to be a better person, that much was always obvious, and maybe that meant having to cut ties with someone like me. They all wanted to be better people, Luke, Kevin, and Ryan too. I don't blame any of them for not wanting to be around me anymore. I don't blame any of them for wanting to just grow up. I don't necessarily blame myself either though. I do miss them, but I wonder if it's actually just the idea of them I miss. The nights spent awake till 4am playing fuck!ng Halo or whatever. I miss being a kid. Even though I'm still basically a man-child. In fact the only thing grown up about me is that my friends don't want to hang out with me anymore.

The worst part of being alone is not having anyone to make fun of.
