Currently listening to: Flashing Lights – Kanye West feat. Dwele
I know it’s been a while, sweetheart
We hardly talk, I was doing my thing
I know I was foul, baby
Ay, babe lately you been all on my brain (brain)
And if somebody would’ve told me a month ago
Fronting, though, yo, I wouldn’t wanna know
If somebody would’ve told me a year ago
It’ll go, get this difficult (difficult)
Feeling like Katrina with no FEMA
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no Visa
I asked my cousin, Caroline, how she made friends after moving to Seattle. Turns out, she met a group of people through the wife of a guy I introduced her to back when we were living in Minnesota. Small world. Truthfully, after uni, it feels like the only ways I’ve managed to meet new people were through mutual friends, coworkers, or the online. It’s hard to meet people organically.
Sometimes when a friend says, “You have to meet her—she’s so fun,” I feel like I’m being set up on a kiddy playdate. It’s sweet, but also slightly awkward, like: will we genuinely get along or will we both just smile politely until it’s over?
How do you meet new people or make new friends as an adult? Is it just me or does it get weirder and harder the older we get?
