Making friends as you grow older may be hard; but it’s even harder to keep the ones you do have
I’ve always been sceptical of those who say that it is impossible to make new friends when you hit middle age. You know how the theory goes, right? The best, the most intense, the most valuable relationships are those that are forged when we are children or in our early adulthood. It is these childhood friends or college buddies who become our support structure as we grow older along with each other.

If you only turn to your friends when you are in a funk it won’t be long before they start dreading your call or email
