Facebook changed my life- Really!

A few months ago, I had gotten to a point in my life where I felt like nobody really "got" me. I have a very specific point of view. I realize that. But, I was surrounded by people that did not appreciate how out spoken I was about the things I felt strongly about. Next comes facebook. Through facebook, I have reconnected with some people from my past, the people who were my best of best friends. And talking with them, I realized that there ARE people who get me! After 23 years, I was able to pick up and chat the night away with my best friend form 3rd grade! Emails and chats miles away from another friend revealed painful moments in our pasts that we could both understand about each other- feelings that had previously been undescribable. The words flow freely with these people I have had real connections with. For me, it was like a huge weight was lifted, and I see the world in a whole new light. There ARE people who get me. I need to find more of those people to surround myself with, instead of trying to make myself someone I am not for people that can't connect with me.
