Some people have more group chats than real conversations.
More "we should catch up soon" than people who actually show up.
They wonder if they did something wrong.
They didn't.
No-one did.
Here's what no-one says out loud.
After your mid-20's it'll start to feel like
you know a lot of people,
but no one really knows you.
And those who do,
moved far away,
are busy getting their kids to bed,
or are just too tired from work to even text back.
As an understanding person, you get it.
Some try finding new friends through apps, but have no luck.
Others paid for a 'Dinner with Strangers' only for no-one to show up.
Spent 60 bucks for 'Paint & Sip' which was fun, handles were shared, and a tentative hangout scheduled soon.
Then
silence.
Pay per event. Pay per drink. Pay per everything.
It was never designed to build real friendships.
Because making real friends takes time,
consistency,
and definitely more than one night.
But that's a known thing.
It's just that doing nothing, feels worse.
Friendships can be intentional, instead of accidental.

Calmly chaotic
We share secrets.

Paint on my sleeve.
Forgot my own name for a sec.

Seats 4, but we 8
after
-hours,
I get it now.
Small Group. Same Format. Good Energy.
Morning yoga set to live cello,
a sip-and-learn on buildings that walk,
and an easy evening of snacks and crafts.
Come as you are,
Leave, wanting to come back
It's the slow, radical act of showing up
until real friendships are forged.
