  We all have a place in life, and sometimes it is tough figuring out where we are. I have always been an introvert which comes partially from moving around a lot when I was a young child.
Every 2-3 years we would pick up and move somewhere new, and I would start all over. I loved actually going new places and seeing new things, and I was always able to make new friends - but over time it became difficult because I was not good at staying friends with the people I left behind.
I have kept a few close friends since high school/college, but those relationships have also become distant and much more casual. Right now, I do not have any truly close female friends and I realize suddenly that I have become lonely for that. My husband is and has been my best friend for nearly 20 years and I cherish that even when I sometimes take it for granted.
I do not know how to form that close connection to other people anymore. It's kind of funny, but part of the reason we made our last move back to my homestate was because we had friends here already. I'm just sad and disappointed that those friendships are not the same and that I don't have what I thought I did.
