A free night, with nothing to do in the morning, and yet here I sit. No one around, no party invites, no exciting shenanigans to be had. Even my younger sister has a 'date'. As it turns out, being ill for weeks on end really puts you on the outskirts of any kind of social life. Therefore, there isn't much left to do but write.

It feels as if everyone and everything has changed in my absence. People that were once friends are suddenly not friends anymore. New couples are everywhere. Friends of mine are encountering struggles that I knew nothing about, and others are moving on with their lives in ways I never would have expected. And, among all the changing and confusion, I seem to have been left behind.

I'm not meaning to be bitter towards anyone, please do not take this the wrong way. I simply feel as if I've missed out on the lives of everyone around me, and I am no longer included in this new world that seems to have been formed. Conforming to this new place may prove to be difficult - much like it is tonight.
