Ramble away my friend! Lol that's pretty valid request imo, for friends to meet you half way. Also agreed that it is okay if friendships kind of fizzle here and there. It feels like to me a true test of friendship is being able to go without and pick back up a week, a month or years later and rediscovering each other. But with no obligation to do so, if that makes sense. I've let friendships go on too long without keeping in touch and seemed to have lost a good amount of them but I have one best friend from high school that I've been able to keep in touch with. Maybe by letting some friendships fizzle, new ones will emerge! I still have not mastered the art of making friends as an adult, with tiny humans. Maybe when my kids all reach school age things will change. For now, my online frandz help a lot.
