Katherine
I've been just as reclusive for the same reasons. Do you know no one until your friend Damon actually noted that after 500 years it would take time to adjust to a new life. No one until someone that hardly knows me at all.
I don't know who my friends are bar Tom. Lydia's been simply awful and Alex as stubborn as ever. And I'm supposed to take it purely because I disagree with their opinion.
I'm tired Katherine. And sick of pandering to a world that will never let me move beyond my mistakes. And I see them forcing you to change yourself and it makes me sick.
