now hiring: mentor or resident best friend

i'm so tired of days like today where i spend my whole day holed up in my room -- stressed over so much that i have to do... and no will to do it.
i'm so tired of days like today where no one seeks me out. no one turns my way. i feel so alone.
i'm so tired of not having someone that i know well and trust to share my life with, in sorrows and joys.
i'm so tired.
i'm so tired of not understanding everything that's "normal".
i'm tired of having to figure out what to do about a roommate because everyone already has one for next year.
i'm tired of people feeling sorry for me when I need a lift. that only drags me down.
now hiring: mentor or resident best friend.
qualifications: willing to get to know me really well and be there for me... and to give me hugs when my day just isn't going right... willing to listen and talk and share with me too... friendships are two-way.
i might be here, but no one really knows me.
they know my name, they know i'm into art, they may even know that i grew up in the Philippines... and the select few might know that this year has been really hard because of that...
but no one knows me like a best friend, or even a good friend, would.
