Looking at people's fb photos from when they were younger, surrounded by friends at clubs/bars/the beach/travel/road trips, I can't help but feel a little jealous.
When I left the country I came to Melbourne to start afresh, and left everyone behind. That was the year 2000. And it has taken me this long to establish a neat little group of friends. For awhile there, I didn't really have what you would call "dependable" friends. Thinking about it, I didn't allow myself many opportunities to meet new people:
I lived with various sisters on and off for awhile, chopped and changed jobs, went to Swinburne Tafe/University, which wasn't the most social of universities. Some of the friends I did make were homebodies, and for awhile there I was quite poor. Suffering from social anxiety didn't help either, and for ages I felt more comfortable with the idea of staying at home watching movies rather than going out and potentially embarrassing myself.
So, that's why it has taken me so long to find a decent friendship circle....
