#25 Belonging

My friends are a group to which that I feel closely connected. It always lifts my mood to chat my stress away, which is vital for me to keep my relationship with my mom smoothly. I need social interaction to relieve some of the stress that naturally accumulates. From them, I can hear the latest gossip, what happened in John's life, what's going on in grade 12 physics class, all the way to what's happening to Mackayla in Haiti. They inform me of things that I never would have paid any heed to otherwise, and it makes me a much nicer person. I think they would play out to be my emotional outlet. I'm not very happy when I'm grumpy.
