Contacting Old Friends

[Aeradalia]

I didn't hate high school. I hated going home after school.

I didn't like either option... I do remember visiting a friend after school nearly everyday that was enjoyable. At the time I was painfully shy, afraid to be touched, and had the constant thought I'd be tossed out if I did something wrong.

In retrospect I now know why I was that way... what I don't understand is why they were still my friend through all of that. Whatever their reasons, I am grateful.
