Dear FutureMe,
you turned 49 a while ago and have been on this planet for nearly half a century.
Most people would say that's great, but your life has been far from it.
as a child you were desperate to make friends, but because you were a little bigger in the 80's and 90's, nobody wanted to be your friend, so grew up not really having any friends and just standing with people from your class room during school, but you remember being a very very lonely child growing up.
Your first job, again desperate to make friends, doing stuff for your colleagues and being their rock when they were down or needed support, but where were they when I wanted a chat.. either busy or couldn't spare the time. so as a young adult, again very lonely with people who I thought were friends, but it was always me having to try and speak to them, never ever got just a phone call for a "hey, how are you doing"
I then moved to a different country and started a new job, hoping for friends. what a mistake that was, the office was filled with people who grew up together and knew each other from childhood, so I had no chance to make a friend. but the internet had come around; so was hoping to at least get some friends online. Made some friends, even met my wife online, but still not a single person that would do anything for me, like I would do for the people who I thought where my friends.
even got a new job and was there for 17 years, Covid happened and started a new job. Literally nobody of the 100's of people I worked with for 17 years cared enough to message or contact me, it was always me that had to message them and got lots of promises "yeah we'll meet up" but nothing.
I have had such a lonely life, and I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I always thought I was here for something special, but I'm not.
I don't need lots of money or things, but I just want a good friend and someone who occasionally thinks of me and asks me if I'm ok and asks me to go for a coffee or a drink. instead of me always having to ask everyone else and be palmed off.
I feel so lonely and I deserve a friend, as I've got so much love and kindness to give. I may not look like a Hollywood hero; but I do have a heart of gold, why can't anyone see the real me, I've opened myself up so many times, but people just see the outside and not the real me.
maybe you'll still be here to read this, maybe you won't, but I just wanted everyone to know that if you ever get a chance to have a good friend, please please please, stay in each others lives and don't ever let go, as your friendship may be the only thing that keeps the other person going.
Bye for now
