Over the 4th of July holiday, I have been watching lots of Aaron Sorkin's West Wing (currently on season two). The show makes me cry a lot. Not sure why. Well, that is not entirely true. It is filled with moments of people being nice to each other. Friends helping out friends and strangers helping out strangers. It is sort of a civics lesson in TV form. Whenever a character does something selfless, I find myself getting worked up. Maybe this speaks to the loneliness in my life. I hung out with friends last night but I feel forever apart from them. Not that they aren't good friends, we just don't have each others backs the way I always thought friends would. Mostly the married couples have each others' backs and the rest of us are just kind of there. In high school, you really felt the concept of taking a bullet for someone else. Now, I don't know.
I miss things that have changed too far to ever change back. I think Kirby has my back. And other people care about me but...something's missing.
