欢迎来到我们的古怪小世界

Welcome to “Our Weird Little World"

When my oldest friend got pregnant, I felt embarrassingly abandoned. Since fourth grade, Eloise and I had been
cocooned in our weird little world; while excited, I worried that our friendship would soon become a faint star in the constellation of her life. I imagine that others in my position would feel similarly yet I judged myself for not being more exuberant. Eloise's daughter came, grew, and learned to crawl. One day, on FaceTime, as I watched her wiggle through the doggy door, I realized I couldn't be jealous.She was a little weirdo, just like us.
