Do you remember who you used to imagine growing up and doing 'cool stuff' with when you were younger? I do. They were my friends. I used to think that we will all end up at the same place, doing every bit of interesting and adventurous things together. I even remember answering 'friends' as the group of people that I prioritize the most in one of those silly quizzes you take with your (yes, you guessed it) friends.
At 27, I don't have any close friends anymore which made me wonder perhaps it was all on me.

I moved away from where I grew up and I guess along the way, I was really poor at keeping in touch with my friends. Thankfully there was already internet. So there were the few people that I still kept barely in touch with.
After pre university, everyone went to their respective destinations and we only got together once every year, if we were lucky.
University was great. Not in the sense of learning things (really, who thinks college was fun?maybe a little bit) but with the adventure and independence part.

Soon enough, college life was over and everyone became what they aspired to be.
No matter how friendly your colleagues are, they are not your friends. They are just people bound by the same rules and work under the same employer as you do. Perhaps some of us will have better luck than others and that professional relationship will develop into friendship, but for me it was just that.

It is so difficult to make new friends that at the end of the day, I still had to rely on my cat as my companion.
Maybe a cat is a woman's best friend? If you think that's sad, it is not the saddest.
