Everyone has their group of friends that they stick to and don’t leave. The group of people that they have day in and day out. They run to the same people regardless of the situation. Everyone hangs out with the same people to go out eat with, to sit around with, to study with, to talk to, to cry with, to go out with, etc. Everyone has their group. What about those of us who don’t?

I don’t have one particular group that I chose to go to day in and day out all the time. Don’t call me a floater friend. Don’t call me a friend hopper. I just have many friends. I have many friends from different backgrounds with different styles. This allows me to be a diverse person. This allows me to branch out and see new things, new perspectives. I am a better person because of all of the different people I surround myself with.

Sure, being this way has its downfalls. Some of my friends may think I don’t have time for them because I am too busy with other people or doing other things but this isn’t my fault. I am a unique person. It is something that people are not used to. I have a variety of individuals that I am accustom to and love being around and just because others don’t agree with my style isn’t going to affect the way I live my life.

Having a variety of friends gives me such a different perspective on life. I get to see things from so many different viewpoints. So many different cultures. So many different surroundings. It shows me the different personalities of different people. Different levels of trust and different levels of honesty. There are a variety of people in this world and I am the type of person who needs a change in their life on a daily basis. I enjoy switching things up. I enjoy the rush and adrenaline of change. I enjoy not knowing what will come next and that is what I get out of being the girl with many different groups of friends.

Maybe there is a reason that I am comfortable being the one with multiple friend groups; and not just because it keeps me on my toes. I don’t like to let people in. I feel like people are going to stab me in the back and betray me, but who isn’t afraid of that. I always end up trusting way more people than I should because I feel like that is how I get past this. Then that is how I find out who my true friends are.

I am the floater friend if you will. I will always be the floater friend. I am who I am and I am proud of it. I hang out with anyone and I am friends with everyone. You categorize people and I call everyone friend.

I am proud of who I am. I am proud to want to get to know everyone and I do not want to change.
