I saw a post today talking about how difficult making friends can be, as well as maintaining friendships, and as someone who has spent the last few years learning how to maintain friendships while moving a couple times and some big life events. One of the best things you can do for a friendship is organise to do THINGS.

Not just meet and talk or chat over message. Arrange to go swimming, or for a row boat ride, cook dinner together, try making clay creatures and laugh at how bad they are. Go to see a play or a singer or a waterfall.

Sit on a call together in silence while you crochet or watch something at the same time in different locations.

Or while you both draw or do dishes and say the random questions that come to mind 'do you think aliens could exist?' 'How can you tell when you're in love?' 'There’s a really cool bird out the window I think you'd like it, it's all blue and green!'

The key is to not try to keep the friendship for the sake of it, but enjoy the Person and their company

Maintaining of a friendship over time requires effort, but also acceptance that you won't speak or see each other all the time. My 3 best friends are all from different phases of life and I have had periods of months or years where I didn’t speak to them just because we had shifted how much we saw each other.

You see them when you see them, you speak when you speak, but you'll find people who with even a tiny amount of effort (a birthday gift, a card, a meme sent, a message or a gif) you can hold onto. People who mean the world to you even though you only see them a could times a year.

I once heard the phrase that friends are like stars, even when you don't see them, they're still there.

Friendships that truly mean something aren't like sitcoms or movies. Life is more complicated and people are too, don't feel bad if your friendships don't match up to what you expect, or if you can't be there all the time.

All things considered, I'm a pretty shit friend sometimes, I forget birthdays and I'm useless to get hold of sometimes. But on either side of friendships that I have, we both make enough of an effort that they're still there.

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow with a friend I've had since I was 11 (or 13 depending how we've decided to measure it that day) and I haven't seen in person in nearly a year. We're still going to have a great time.

Your friendship takes whatever form works for you, don't lose sight of the people you love cos the way you love them doens’t look like 'it's supposed to'

People will try to tell you what 'being an adult' is. They will try to dictate what milestones you have to achieve before you count. They will try to tell you what rules 'being an adult' means you have to live by.

I've been an adult now for a while and I want to tell you that's all bunk.

Not all of us have a favorite burner on the stove.

It's okay to stop and wonder where you are going, to reevaluate your choices. Rest a little to figure yourself out. Give yourself time. Not having the rest of your life figured out doesn't mean you are failing as an adult. It means you're trying. What matters is that you keep moving, instead of being paralyzed by fear in any situation. Being an adult involves hard choices and none of it is easy, but it does get easier if you keep facing little fears every day and trying to cope with hardships in a healthy way. It's not about waking up and knowing exactly how the rest of your life is going to go: it's about not knowing because the future is unpredictable and still keep trying to live. 🌿💐🌱

You know that feeling as a kid, the one where you can’t wait to grow up. When does that actually happen? When do you grow up? Is it when you have kids? Is being responsible for things tinier and younger than you when you finally feel like an adult? Can parents confirm or deny that for me. Or is it when you go the gas station and clean them out of all of their ice cream and no one but your bank account can tell you no. 

When do you start feeling like an adult? Curious minds would like to know 

#me #I am curious minds #growing up #being an adult #I wonder if it's weird #that I never had that moment #where I'm like #yes #I feel like an adult #I still feel like I look around the room waiting for actual adults to make the decision for me #but I'm the adult #I don't like it

Being an adult is struggling to find enough executive function to do enough things to look like you have your shit together to everyone else while internally you're off the fucking rails.

One of the worst things i suffer with is health anxiety. Every now and then i will go down this huge rabbit hole of thinking that im dying. I find one thing wrong with my body and then im on google looking things up which i know never leads to anything good. The next thing i know i think im dying again.

This time around i fixated on my lymph nodes. The previous week before i had been watching a lady battle and lose her battle to cancer and i think that's what had triggered it. I started looking for anything that was out of place on my body and discovered when i turn my head to the side that one side i can feel a lymph node and the other I can't

For the past two days ive been fiddling and pushing on it too see if it moves or hurts and too see how big it is. its squishy and moveable but my brain still tells me its bad. I started to put other things to the lymph node. Like the fact i have anemia because i have really heavy periods and have done since i was 10. Or the fact on my leg currently i have this big purple bruise and i put those together and think im dying.

Also in the winter time my periods become more erratic because the lack of vit D my body gets and i put this down to cancer as well.

Seems silly writing it because realistically ive always had bad periods, they've always been regular til the winter and then they become more erratic because of the lack of vit D.

I dont take care of my body half as much as i should. Im overweight, i dont sleep right or eat right. Ill only address my anemia if it becomes a probelm.

I got sick in November with a virus that could have cause my lymph node to be bigger and my body is still recovering from that, not to mention i think im getting sick again.

And the bruise i slipped getting into the bath the other day and hit my leg.

I think from now on im gonna stay away from people dying online, and im not gonna google everything. I cant keep going the way i am its exhausting 😞

I need a headshot where I'm not wearing my uniform for a workshop I'm helping out with. It has been at least a decade since I had such a photo, so I decided to scroll through my photos to see if I had anything that was marginally appropriate.

Selfies, photos of the pigs, and selfies of me and the pigs account for 95% of my photos over the past several years. Clearly none of these are exactly what I'm looking for in a professional headshot

#i guess its a photo of me in a fire department uniform or none at all #nothing says I am a professional psychiatrist like selfies with the pigs #being an adult #headshot

Being an adult is fucking wild

No one tells you shit. We had an HRA through my husband's work and we just? Didn't know? Didn't know what it was or how to use it.

We got sent cards in the mail so I looked it up and we have $740 left in the account. I had no idea I could get reimbursed for my contacts and glasses.

No one tells you this shit!!
