Dear Lily:

I believe you want to make friends in person and fit them in your life as face to face friends. Well, here on this site, you can make a friend with me, if you’d like. In context of this website, maybe you and I can become friends. And if we do, we can communicate about all those things that need to be communicated, examined, explored and you will be closer to making a friend in your life outside here. If you are so inclined, we just met then.

You wrote that none of these achievements really mean much to you: the degrees and the material progress, you mean? Is it that you need what we all do: “To Love and Be Loved in return”- by another adult?
