You know what? As an adult it’s not just hard to make friends, it’s hard to keep them.
It’s not that we all just get nasty and dump each other (I mean, hopefully not) but with jobs and families and how much our culture prioritizes productivity over relationships… it takes a real effort on both ends to keep up with each other.
Between Alaska with friends, and then a visit from friends to San Diego, not to mention a recent wedding, I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of quality time with my people lately, and my cup is full.
It takes time, energy, effort, plus mutual investment to make these things happen, but they are so necessary and worth it. Wherever friends rank on your list of priorities, think of how you want to look back on life twenty years from now, and consider sliding ‘em up a couple notches.
