He brought some incredible people into my life who've been a strength to me in ways i couldn't have imagined. in some ways, it more than makes up for what's missing. in other ways, it only magnifies it. as i’ve walked through the most difficult season of my life, the people who “should’ve” been there for me weren’t. those i expected to be a support, walked away. or worse, added to the hurt.

Common sense tells you to look at your school for friends, only issue is you're in a class with 40 chicks and a couple married guys. So that doesn't work so much. Next logical choice would be your church community, but go figure, there aren't a whole heck of a lot of single college people in churches in my area. So you connect with married couples and young families, which is good; but its still hard. Especially when people start moving, jobs get more complicated, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful for the married friends I have (aka this dude named Josh), but its still hard sometimes. I suppose if anything, these experiences act like a life lesson that show you just how important community is, and the need to hold onto it when you find it.
