Yes, driving 2hr one way to a party is a lot of driving. And I’m the person who always asks for a ride if I don’t have to drive.

I’m about half of your age. I had a tough time accepting not all my friends were supposed to stay in my life. Once I figure that out, I stop stressing about how long my friendship with someone will last. One thing I can say is that my boyfriend has definitely brought more positives to me/my life than my friends. Yes I love my friends and I enjoy my time with them and we support each other. But my boyfriend tells me to push harder and that he believes I can do it. He always says:”I never doubt you can get there. You put in 100% of your efforts. No regrets.” On the other hand my friends tell me “you know, it’s very difficult. You should be proud of how far you’ve come.” I’m not judging either party, but the way my boyfriend responds gives me more courage and helps me become a better person.
