I think I can be more intentional to be a friend and pour into the people I interact with at work. It's hard to reach out and initiate real conversations but so worth it!

Making close friends has never come very easily to me--though I find that simply associating with people in a kind and amiable way is very easy--I think the deeper, opening up part of close friendship is almost mind-bogglingly hard. And yet everyone needs those sorts of friends!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587170240696647383.post-4069179734262271502015-08-20T18:42:20.089-04:002015-08-20T18:42:20.089-04:00Try to put yourself in situations where you can me...Try to put yourself in situations where you can meet people.

And I'm finding that some of my old girlfriends and I are so different now that it's hard for me. Good thing I also have 3 sisters that I'm close to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
