I'm continuing to eavesdrop on these girls next to me. I particularly like one of them -- she reminds me SO much of myself, or at least where I am at the moment.

She says: "This is the first time, the first experience I've had of growing, of moving away from people who are where I don't want to be ... It feels weird, it feels like aging."

And her friend says: "I would say you're lucky."

That's so much where I am right now. I'm frustrated with a rather frightening percentage of my friends. There's this distance. I'm tired of being the shrink, the one to talk people through their fuckups. Glad to see someone else is going through the same thing. Gives me incentive to grapple with it and move beyond it.
