Rant: Maybe I am just deluding myself...
...into thinking they're my friends.
I mean, friends do tell you when they're going to be near your area right?
Especially when you haven't been able to hang lately.
Friends do respond to messages and text from you right?
Especially if its been a while since you've been in touch.

Maybe all this time I thought I found more people whom appreciate my presence and welcome me to their niche only to discover I've outlived my "usefulness" and am only learning the hard way?

Or maybe, they just don't realise I would appreciate being given a nod that I am part of their world too.
