The joy of friends

I just wrote a very lengthy melancholy post about something, and then realized you probably wouldn't want to hear all that. So hear is the short version. Certain things have been brought to my attention though my life about friendships, and just recently something very painful (not physically) happened to me to make me want to let all my friends out there know that I do need you guys. Not in a selfish way, but because we all need friends, even though we have siblings. So...I want your friendship, and I hope you want mine.
