Lately I've been feeling the need to make some new friends and get out there. I'm feeling a little lonely, and I want to enjoy life and share it with people!
The other day my friend and I were talking about this. It seems to get harder as you get older to make new friends. I'm not in school anymore, so how do I go about doing this?
When you're in school its easy to make new friends. You have classes and are always on campus to meet new people. But I don't have that luxury now that I'm working full time. And I'm not the most outgoing person, where I can randomly meet people at a coffee shop or in the grocery store.
So the next possibility would be to join some groups or take a class, or something along those lines. Getting involved seems to be key. So, what do I take?
If you've read my earlier blogs you'll know that I'm already taking a dance class starting this october, but I'd also like to do some other things. I'm going to sign up for a gym membership, and I would LOVE to take another art class. These are things where I'll meet people like me, the "artsy fartsy" type, as my dad would call it.
There's another thing. I would love to meet people that want to go to small cafes, art galleries, old movie screenings, farmer's markets and plays. I like to go out and DO things. So, where do I find such people? I'll start with my dance class, and look for an art class to take.
Often the problem is sitting around waiting for things to happen, instead of going out and getting what we want. I can't just sit around and expect people to show up at my door. I need to get out there and show the world who I am, and only hope that someone will like me for me.
