This is a continuation of my thoughts, my recovery for my wisdom teeth is going less than perfect, the other day a new friend of mine, though she forgot her phone at home, I was contacted by her boss who told me she would be coming to see me. I was so happy, she was a bit late, and came close to my narcotic/800 mg Motrin time, but it was much appreciated.
I didn't realize just how much pain I was in, none the less I agreed to go to Olive Garden, I wanted a more solid meal then what I had been eating, the meal was delightful, I resisted grabbing my jaw, but the times I did, did not go unnoticed by my friend. I was happy to accompany her. She vented to me about recent frustrations, she lives in a house with 5 other young people, none of whom could take the time of day to let her vent about the frustrations of being away from home. She vented to me that she never realized that she had no friends to talk to, I did not know how to say to her that I felt that exact same way. Her birthday is next week, upon obtaining this knowledge, I treated her. It's funny how you many people can feel the exact same way as you, I know i'm not alone in the world of singledom, lol but it is hard to truly relate to people for me....most of the time. I felt a connection then, and I felt empathy for her situation. I have been without a crowd of friends my entire life, but someone who isn't used to the experience, the feeling can be quite depressing and bleak.
I felt that God had called upon me to spend that evening with her and to cheer her up, today she told me she felt much better, and according to facebook she had been sent a generous care package by her twin, so I was delighted that she was doing much better. I like it when God sends random people to be cheered up, even if I cannot make light of my own loneliness I am happy to be company for someone else :)
