When I was younger, it was easier to make friends. We didn’t know better back then than to take every smile and hello as an olive branch. But as an adult, friendships have been far and few between for me. People can be judgy and cruel but also completely opposite of you in views and dreams. It’s a miracle to find even one person that you connect with, and that’s not even the hard part. It’s keeping them around once you’ve started letting them see who you are past the surface level.
