I don't know if there is or not. There is so much in the world that leads me to believe that there is not but at the same time there is much that leads to believe there is.


Am I family oriented?
Being an only child I feel like I have to be. But I do not have much contact with my extended family, just my Mom and Dad.


Who is my best friend?
I have not had a best friend since my best friend in high school got me and him and 2 others in a car accident and then he lied about why it happen and I didn't find out the truth for 6 months. I may have talked about that before on here. If not, let me know and I can tell the story. But I would say my closest friends now are Scott and Sally.


Thanks to everyone that replied to this. It is good to know that things I have worked on being:
a good person, sincere, a real friend, a nerd and so on can be seen by my friends no matter where they are.
