Such a good question. I’ve moved quite a bit, lived in different countries and have friends from university and travels all over the world. I know many people but only consider a handful my true closest friends. I’m happy that way. And I still try meet new people wherever I live. Sometimes closer bonds form in addition to older ones slowly fainting away.
Yes, so true about adult friendships! I too have lived in many different countries and maybe I feel like I don't have "enough" close friendships because I keep moving (lol). I love that you're putting an effort into meeting new people :)
I think we know when something's missing, and what that unusually means is we have to become hyper aware of what we do have through gratitude. Then, we have to decide to what's our plan of action.
I liked that you went out there and tried new things, the mom's group, the book club, getting to know folks at conferences. It demonstrates EFFORT and sometimes that's the best we can do. And you're absolutely right, different relationships show up at different times in our lives, and I feel by accepting this, it makes our lives easier!
Thank you for that. I think I was so focused that I didnt' have "enough" friends in my local area that I didn't even stop to think that I was putting in the effort. You're right, it is the best we can all do. Thank you for stopping by!

Adult friendships are an art in itself I feel.
