my astute daughter

Yesterday she was in tears
Friendship issues
Turned away by 4 friends in close succession 


First cried her heart out to her sister
Later quietly shared with me
Her oepning lines
Aatha i found out i have no real friends

I asked her how would you describe a real friend

And her answer hit me in the gut

"Someone who chooses me"


Its one of the most perfect ways of describing a friend

It's the reason i teared up when Amelia said she'd wait for me for recess my first day in Cedar

Then when i tried to explain the concept of inner circles and outer circles of contacts and friends
She got it in one second into my explanation... like an onion! 

I am blessed with her. 

Also realised that adolescence is indeed lonely
Akshaya told me she was so lonely in sec 1
And aishu shared thats why akshaya went into fan fiction then
Stupid coivd robbed her of that chance to make friends
