Happy birthday Hun. You need to hold your head up, not many keep up with friends they were with in elementary, middle or high school. I talk to some of mine on occasion, but never a lot. Now I'm 27, I only really talk to my friends I made within 6ish years max. You will always make friends wherever you go, it just takes some time and effort from both parties. I wish you the best of luck with future endeavors, and of course making friendships that will last, and make you feel like you aren't a 3rd wheel or an odd one out. ❤️
