You Will Find Your People: How to Make Meaningful Friendships as an Adult

by Lane Moore

Part of the problem here is we’re told to find people who feel like home to us. And if your “home” was full of unhealthy patterns and toxic relationships, what will feel like home to you is actually the last place you should be.

To me, friendships have a better shot long-term, even if they are with people you sometimes want to make out with.

Maybe things that worked for you years ago just do not work for you now. Maybe in high school, you loved having friends who gossiped and now you think that’s really boring and not your thing. Or in your early twenties, you used to love friends who hated everyone, and now you want to be around people who love people more than they love to hate people.
