I have recently realized that over the past four years (while I was working/studying) I did a wonderful job of alienating myself from friends. Now that I have graduated I’ve tried to reconnect with some old friends but have come up short. Sometimes friendships die off and often times people grow out of one another. Currently I do not feel like I am mourning any losses but having a social network is important for ones sanity.
So in order to keep it moving I would like to make new, local, (female), friends. I say local because most of the people that I consider good friends are not in New York and I say female because I have an easier time befriending males than females. I guess I have always known this but I never really acknowledged it until a friend pointed out the male to female ratio at a recent picnic I had.
Now that I am married I think it makes sense to try to cultivate friendships with other women who share my interests, can deal with my sarcasm and are down to shoot the sh!t over good food and cocktails.
Not sure where to begin on this but will make every concentrated effort to meet someone new this week.
