If I attempt to make friends once more, and I know it will inevitably end one way or another, what's the point of it?

Friend

Dear stranger,

This letter is not meant to be sent to anyone in particular because there's no one in mind whom I can trust not to laugh at my way of seeking friendship. Or me stopping it after a while.

So... I don't think I'll be looking again for friends any time soon dito sa Reddit. Or anywhere online. I think the friendships I found here on Reddit were either quick to die kasi we don't match with our interests and I have a ghosting phase OR they think I'm looking for a friend as a stepping stone for a relationship. And I suppose I have blame to share for being not a good friend din—you know in terms na mas madalas pa akong sabaw kesa nakakaganang kausap. But still, I'm glad to have met these few good guys and girls. No matter how short our friendships were, they helped bring color to my 2025 and I pray they do well this year. And I must admit, I miss them.

And you, dear stranger, I thank you for reading my letter. I hope you are doing well.

PS. This year, I'll keep my door open but I won't actively call in for guests. Come in, have a look, and decide whether you want to stay a while or look elsewhere for warmer company.
