A year ago, an old classmate of mine who I met at a Christian club on campus told me about why she became so pious. She said that because she grew up rich, she suddenly felt that her life was very empty. Today, I finally understood what she was trying to say as I notice myself using the internet, toys, games, and food to fill a void that was missing in my life since high school. Psychologists say that at a certain age, a child starts gravitating towards its friends instead of its parents. For me, this switch happened relatively late. It may be that because of this, I had trouble finding friends in high school and remember high school as something I would be afraid to experience again. Even though bad experiences happen to everyone, I feel that a lot of what I've been doing thus far has been trying to cover up the need for a group of friends who are not merely acquaintances.
