The longing
One of the most painful feelings of the human being is longing.
This feeling is constant in my life since I moved to town.
What I miss most are my friends whom I speak only for internet.
Despite having few friends feel constant lack of them: Nicole, Flavia Felix, Maria, Ge and Alex, my best friends and the most important people in my life. Almost all work or are in college which makes our communication more difficult. Despite living one year at my current city does not know anyone.
What I want most now is my old life back.
If the longing is the most painful feeling friendship is sweeter.

If the longing is the most very painful feeling, the friendship is sweeter. (Or you could say, the deeper and more painful the longing, the sweeter the friendship. )

I agree with Jared's corrections, and might just add in your opening sentence "a sense of longing" instead of just "longing". I don't often see/hear the word "longing" as a noun by itself without "a sense of..."

Hi Juliana! I understand the feeling you're going through. When I was younger, I had to move to a different city, very far away from all of my friends and family. I felt very afraid and alone, but this is a great opportunity for you to make new friends too. Don't be sad :)
