Never wanted one – even as a child, thought idea was a bit odd. Unless you counted my cat, Oscar, who I'd had since I was small, & various dogs. I had a ton of mythical companions though (they'd say things like "what ails thee??"). I never thought 1 person could fulfil my every need/shoulder my every problem – & nor should they. Instead I had lots of people to share my interests w/, who tended to be older.

@ 30 y/o, despite moving house, little has changed. I tend to come into contact w/ odd people, who are not odd in a good way, & due to the circles I move in it's quite common for us not to talk to each other – not cos we don't want to but cos we can't. 1 person can talk but the other can't. Anyone else feel the same way??

I miss you, Oscar.
