Among other important resolutions for this new year, I have decided to give making new friends and socializing in college a try. I do have my 3 best homies with me but I think I need to socialize more instead of rotting in bed scrolling all day.
I love meeting people and then making an effort to become one on one friends with them. Some of my best friends I’ve made in adulthood have been chance encounters where I decided i needed to learn more about that person and consequently sought them out. These have blossomed into very fulfilling and creatively inspiring friendships. I don’t tend to work very well in friendship groups so this is the model that I have found works for me.
I’ve been living with my friends for the most part this year, and tbh when our timings align and you get to have breakfast altogether or when it’s nighttime n you got your buddies to smoke and talk with, that’s what keeps me young…
i've spent most of the year focusing on self-love and also valuing my friendships and putting the work and time into them... i feel better about myself than i have in years – i haven't really felt that loneliness from a lack of romance because i still experience intimacy in a different way. we go for dinner, to the cinema, to exhibitions, have little holidays and sleepovers... but now that i do feel so great, i feel like i've unlocked a new version of myself that's a bit more flirty and carefree lol. my friends are great and beautiful, and it turns out their other friends are too. as long as there's no history or anything you're complicating, i vote to have a look around and get to know your friends' friends!
