On making friends

I am not really sure whether it’s me or has this got to do with age? I used to be so good at making friends, real friends. Friends who do not judge me because of what I wear, where I work or the house I live in, friends with whom I can share my problems with, consult, laugh with. Where are these types of people now and why is it so difficult for me to find them in this country? Surely I haven’t changed that much in these past three years and just because you change countries that doesn’t mean you have to lose that ability to make friends.

I talk to my colleague and my husband – that’s about it. It gets me real sore that I don’t have a buddy to go to a spa with, to watch some chick flicks or go out for a drink. Hell this country is supposed to have a fantastic night life – so why I am feeling so left out? 

Please don’t get me wrong here – I am not a terribly lonely person, I don’t have the time to be lonely. It’s not like my life here in the UK would be a great misery without company, just that it would have been a bit more fun. 

I know what’s lacking. I need some focus in life, some inner strength to keep myself carrying on.....
