It's amazing that most people change for the worse when they get a boyfriend/girlfriend and you don't hear a peep out of them until they get dumped or something bad happens. If you find someone that makes ya happy then great! Always stay true to yourself and your friends, don't morph into a phony just so you can say "I found someone" and it makes your life temporarily fit whatever façade you want people to believe.
Also just don't forget about your friends in the meantime or they just may forget about you first…
