I don't have the courage to take the first step. That's why I don't have any good buddies. It's fun playing with casual friends, "good buddies" and "casual friends" are different. I saw the final episode of my favorite anime, "Fight, Wonder Guy!" yesterday. In the first part, Wonder Guy was fighting alone. He'd go down again and again but had the courage to keep fighting and never give up. "If you don't take that first step, a path won't open for you." That's what he said and he kept on fighting. Then other people felt his courage, and little by little, became buddies with him. That's why in the end, even when it looked like he was going to lose to the bad guy, he never stopped believing that his pals would come to the rescue. But I don't have Wonder Guy's courage or good friends like that. So I felt really envious. It made me wish to have true friends, friends who trust each other, when I get bigger.
