Making friends in this day and age is extremely difficult and overwhelmingly tiresome. In an age where we're emotionally unattached, uninterested, unfocused, glued to our phones and always in a constant hurry speaks volumes. We're living in a time where we use social media apps to find counterparts--whether it be for a mate or to find someone who shares a common interest with us which has its perks, but still, why is it so hard to just click with someone without using a phone? Is it just me?

I find it like a job--you really have to put in the time, energy and work because everyone is busy or has something going on, doesn't have the mental capacity to listen or just can't be bothered. Or people already have their perfect circle, and are hesitant to open up and let someone new in. People also have been hurt in the past, which leads to trust issues and you can't blame them. However, I refuse to give up and still have hope that meeting new people is on the horizon! Being that I'm more introverted, I have made it a priority to put myself out there, take risks and reach out to people. I find when I do this, people are more receptive to want to get to know someone new and leave with expectancy that there are other people out there in the world that want to meet new people and build life-lasting + loyal friendships. Don't give up hope on meeting someone new :)
Despite what you've been through whether it's been trauma from your past, unhealthy relationships, generational cycles of bondage or whatever horrific experience you may have been through, just know that new friendships and relationships can still be built. We as humans need one another--even if it's just one friend, we need people in our midst. We weren't meant to live this life alone.
I use to hear that when you get older, it gets lonely and harder to make friends--and the truth is, they weren't lying. But despite the truth of that statement, making friends is still possible with hope, trial and error and expectancy. I pray that wherever you are or whatever season you're currently going through that restoration is taking place, new direction, new beginnings, new friendships and relationships are getting ready to meet you right where you're at. Don't give up and remember, God is with YOU ALWAYS! <3

John 13 34-35 "“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
