1. It’s simple, but not easy. Still, it can totally be done.
2. These are busy times. Thankfully you can stay in touch over text, email, and SM. Both the girls in the picture I posted live in New York. Sadly, I only get to see them once/year if I’m lucky. Still, they are two of my closest friends in the world.
3. People change. We change. Sometimes that means our relationships change too. This is totally natural and normal. I have a lot of friends who I once truly enjoyed who now feel toxic to me. So I have politely pulled back. No need to make a whole dramatic scene. Just PPB. (Read the sentence above, you’ll figure it out.)
4. If it’s your boyfriend and you’re not happy anymore with him them PBU.

In reply to Lauren. Finding quality people takes time. Stay positive and remain the kind of person people want to be around and they will come. Until then, read. xoxo Lisi

Thank you so much Lisi for putting me in your blog post I’m so grateful for your advice! Honestly, I can relate to the first tip because I’m not a people pleaser, but I feel like sometimes I have to be to make friends which is annoying. It is hard to find friends who are worthy of my time, or people who I’m interested in getting to know. Thank you for sharing your experiences in this post! When I moved away from my old home, I realized that my old Friends weren’t making me happy anymore, and that I could find new ones to fulfill that when I moved. Still searching though! Your blog is my favorite!!! xoxo -L

Wow. I am speechless. Truly blown away by your perspective. Just… well, is it really that easy?
I’d like to thank you so much for responding to my question! I guess I shouldn’t say anymore that “I hope I find friends” either. If I find them, I’ll see if they’re worth it.
What if you have “potential” friends, but they’re too busy? Is that considered “bad friend” behavior and shouldn’t bother?
And also, if you have a great friend that makes the list, but eventually down the road they don’t anymore, what do you do? It’s kinda hard to just throw them away like, “even though you were a great friend, you aren’t anymore so bye.” I mean, what about all the history and how bad that would hurt their feelings? And what if it’s your boyfriend?

P.S. Nice photo! After reading this, it only confirms more that you truly are my role model. I look up to you!
