Spend more time with my friends. Invite people over, take initiative to go out, and accept invitations as often as possible.

with my difficult friend. I have stayed away from her and only seen ehr a couple of times with other friends the past half year or so. But I have come to the conclusion that it is a shame to throw away years of friendship without even trying to see if it can be fixed. So today when my date cancelled, I called and asked if she would like to go out for a beer or something, and we did.
My main problem with her is that whenever we meet, we always end up talking about Life with a capital L, and we spend a whole lot of time talking about how she is feeling, wether she’s extremely happy or extremely depressed, she is very rarely anything inbetween. It really is draining. And tonight, we ended up in the exact same thing again. Turns out she is in a big conflict with her boyfriend, she has to have a big discussion with him this weekend and she thinks they might break up. So she was unable to focus on anything else, and in the end started crying and asked me to walk her home.

It really got difficult to deal with. Because on the one hand, I was really frustrated by it, and I can’t be sucked into constantly having to deal with all her problems again, so although I was ofcourse supportive, I was probably not as supportive as I would normally be with friends in this situation. And that does make me feel bad. Because even though she does this WAY too much, she was actually justified today, I have been in situations like those, it’s awaful. Sigh.
