Thank you. Yes, YOU!

In spite of myself, the holidays have forced me to reflect on the people who I’ve loved and been my unfailing family all these years—my friends. I realize that my aversion for the niceties of maintaining relationships (text- and call-backs), manic-depressive behavior and selfish need for solitude can drive even the most loyal friend away. So to all my friends (old and new) who have kept faith and continued to seek out my company and help me through rough times, thank you. All your efforts, kind words and yes, even forwarded jokes, have not been lost on my cold, autistic heart. Your friendship keeps me sane and grateful.

Remember: I may be a lazy friend but I’m the lazy friend that loves you. And because I’m too lazy to be anything else, I’m still going to be your friend long after you thought it possible. Here’s to a lifetime of happy new years my friends!!!
