it’s relatively easy for me to meet people online, but there’s only so much i can get out of virtual friendships anymore.
it’s a good idea to keep tabs on how close your friendships actually are. yeah, there are a lot of people you like to see and who like to see you but true friendships are deep and require a lot of work - you and they have to repeatedly choose not to drift apart. for many relationships, drifting apart is fine. but it’s sad to lose people you’ve known for decades that way.
