They Know How You Feel

I don’t have many friends. Well,
I have a few, and the one thing that
I’ve noticed is that I have more male friends than
female friends. That’s strange for me, well really,
that’s not strange for me, but I guess
it’s strange to not have many friends
that are the same sex as you. Well,
at least that’s been the case with me.
But when it comes to men I’ve always felt
that men are more like real people, or maybe
it’s that I’m more like a man so I don’t notice
that there’s anything wrong with just being able
to talk to them. Well, now I’m going off on a tangent,
and I didn’t mean to. Sorry. My point from most of that
speech was that I do have a few female friends,
and some of them are nicer to me than
other friends are. And one of my female friends
acts like herself to me, and I act like myself to her.
So that makes us feel more natural around
each other.

I know this isn’t coming together well, this
isn’t sounding like I planned it to. Forgive me. But
I think you know what I was getting at. I was just
trying to say that it’s worth it sometimes. Sometimes
you just make yourself think about it, about what
matters to you, and this all becomes obvious. Then
you can laugh about it all with your friends, the
ones that understand you. Because they know
how you feel, and they feel the same way.
