After reading nbee’s entry, I decided it’s time I stepped up and tried making friends myself. What struck me was when he said ‘going places and leaving your comfort zone is only half the battle,’ I then realized that when indeed I did bother to ‘go places’ and ‘step out of my comfort zone’, I didn’t make friends and I never got the results I wanted. Now, I’m inspired to take on a new strategy: to be a friend and do the dirty work myself. It might be out of my character to go up to people and actively make friends with people, but if it means making a friend, then I’m ready to become a new person. If growing up and trying new things means becoming someone else, so be it; I’m ready to try. Bring it on.
