Yellow brick road

Living on one's own in a city where you don't know more than a handful of people can be rather lonely at times. During college (and this is something I took for granted before now) there were so many like-minded people your age at your fingertips. For four years no matter which way you turned there was someone there willing to form a friendship. Now, however, it seems the friendship path is a bit dusty and overgrown making it hard to follow. I never really gave much thought as to how people made friends because friends had always been so readily available in school. These days, though, I am constantly asking, "Just how do people do it?" I type this as I close another Friday night in my apartment by myself. Ahh, to long for the days of college...
