8. Writer friends .

I’m struggling with today’s prompt, and I’m gonna say something controversial: I don’t have any in-person friends, writers or otherwise. A person is supposed to keep this information to themselves, lest they come across as a loser and nullify any future attempts at friend making. But I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one like this. .

Social interactions are something I enjoy, but it takes me years to attach to a person, and by that time I usually leave the city. I’m a traveler, so I guess it comes with the territory. I’m also quiet and private… a perfect storm for having no friends. .

But I’ve met several people online who I’ve become friends with, and I’m so thankful for you! I have a husband who keeps me company in person, a cat (pictured) who regularly interrupts my work for snuggles, and those are wonderful things to have. My mom visits when she can, my sister writes all the time (and we share the same dorky hobbies), and my in-laws actually love me! .

And to those of you who have been my friends over the years and stuck with me even though I left the country, I’m so grateful for you
