You seem like you'd give pretty good advice so do you mind me asking for some? What do u do when ur in a weird transitional time in ur life and you've outgrown your high school friends and feel like you are drifting away from new friends (some are tumblr friends so it's not like I see them). I'm moving away soon, so I'm hoping I'll meet people there. But I still have like 6 months. How do I not spiral into deep sadness over not having friends, even though it's kinda my choice to lose them?
Hey! I’d absolutely love to give you some advice! But first off, I’m ridiculously sorry for only seeing this now - my inbox has been acting on the fritz and long story short, here’s a late reply that I hope you will see.
The thing is, no matter how hard we try to keep some things the same, stuff does change. We all go through little experiences that slowly change our paths, and unfortunately sometimes those times don’t always happen at the same time as those we’re close to. It hurts to move away from friends, whether that be geographically or emotionally, but that’s okay. You will meet new people where you’re going. But while you still are where you are, it’s best to really take advantage of this time and just do stuff with you, for you. Get to know yourself really well. And the reason I say this is because if you’re comfy with who you are and what you like, it will be easier to make the friends who also share those things.
(I’m going to take this moment to kindof plug a couple youtube videos of mine only because I think they speak volumes to this exact question. If you wanna check ‘em out, they’re here and here!)
More than anything, just know you’re doing this thing for you. Life isn’t going to all be unicorns and rainbows and there are going to be down times where you’re not sure exactly where you’re going. That’s okay. You’ll get there eventually.
If you ever want someone to blather with, clicky on my inbox and I’ll be here to answer more questions. Oh! And best of luck :)
