I recently stumbled across this book, and the byline was so intriguing I had to read it! "My yearlong search for a new best friend" It seems to describe what I've been trying to do!
Since moving to Colorado, I've had a few stages of feelings about friendships. At first, I thought that I would keep all my Illinois friendships, and probably make a few friends here, and that would be good enough. After being here for a year or so, I began to realize that while keeping my friends in Illinois was definitely something I wanted, it wasn't the same as having friends to call for coffee or to see the latest chick flick.
The book talks about a lot of different things, and is really informative as well as entertaining. Two things in particular jumped out to me:
1. To make friends, you have to meet people.
2. Friend-making is expensive.
Let's try to make a list of things we can do with friends that are no/low cost!
You skipped step 1! Before we can do inexpensive things with friends, we have to meet friends!
ReplyDeleteI want to make more artistic friends (and pursue more artistic endeavors), so I joined a group this semester that is about Beauty. We are going to talk about art and the human experience and why it's important to people. I am really excited for it and will hopefully make some friends in it too :)
