I just read something that said “ Having good friends keeps from you from dating out of boredom. A lot of people don’t need partners - they need a social life.” And YEAH!
My life advice to you is to show up for the thing. I can’t count how many times I have wanted to cancel a meeting with friends because I was too tired, and then I ended up going anyway and having the time of my life. Human contact is better than screens. Show up for the thing.
Adult friendships require a lot of understanding. People go to work. People are busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Do not mistake less communication for less love.
Adult friendships require grace. People are very busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in not out.
i’m so grateful for the times when i’m included, like when someone saves me a seat, invites me even if i can’t go, or asks me to join a group photo. these simple gestures mean a lot to me. it’s the little things that matter most. they don’t cost anything but mean everything
ngl when someone does something for me, i immediately start thinking of what i could do to thank them in return. I'm so appreciative of consideration and acts of service.
