Clingy

If there's one thing I've learnt about myself these past few months it's this.
I'm a clinger.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an emotional leech and I don't crave attention (far from it most of the time). I just don't want to be alone. If I said that to my friends they'd be a tad confused. I'm always banging on about my me-time. About having thinking space.
This is different.
I know, right now, that there's an army of people I could fall back on. That I could land my problems on one of my friends and they'd be okay with that. But with leaving for college on the horizon, there's a fear building.
Abandonment.
Sounds drastic, I know, but that's how I feel inside. I need the comfort of knowing that I won't be cut off from my friends, no matter what college we go to or what courses we take.
So I told them this - just a few minutes ago. What I got was comfort, but not sympathetic crap. I needed that.
I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way, or maybe I am and I'm a freak. Either way, I needed to do this. I rewrote this post because it didn't feel right, but now it does.
Hopefully it helps someone. I know it helped me.
So... I'll see you when I see you, but here's hoping it's soon.
Bye, guys!
