It is so hard to make friends. We actually don't know how to do it. We've lost the skill, it seems. By the way, it's never too late to make a friend. That's the other important thing. Should you stay friends with everybody that you've been friends with for a long time? I look at my own life, and I've been talking to lots of people, but sometimes we have old friends where the only bond is time. And we don't actually get anything from them. We don't feel inspired when we leave spending time with them. You say, why are you still friends? And they're like, well, I've been friends with them for 20 years. Okay, that's not my question. Why are you still friends with somebody that they give you no joy, give you no inspiration? You might have fun. Why are you still friends with them? They don't charge your batteries at all. Is it a friend simply because you've known somebody for a long time, right? That's a question. Are friends allowed to change? Yeah, yeah, friends are allowed to change because we grew up. I'm not the person I was when I was in school. Should I be friends with everybody who was in school just because I went to school with them? Maybe not, you know? Some of them yes, some of them no. Like, I want to grow with people. I remember that I had one friend. We started our careers similar times. We're both entrepreneurs and we'd go out together and we'd whine about the same things and, you know, screw that client and that client doesn't get it, blah, blah, blah. And every problem that I kept encountering, I tried to find solutions. And my career started to advance and we would continue to go out for dinner and he would complain about the same people and the same problems. And years went by and we'd go out for dinner. And literally, I could have had the same conversation every single year going backwards. Same people, same problems, same complaints. And I realized I could no longer relate to his life. And there was no movement and we just drifted apart. There's no bad blood. We didn't have a fight. We just drifted apart. Is that okay? Yeah, I don't feel any guilt, right? That's fine. But I want him to make friends that help him grow, you know? I still, I want him to be able to not be the victim of his circumstances. These are the things that I'm really interested in. How we hold on to some of these sacred cows about friendship that may or may not be healthy. A friend is somebody that when you spend time with them, when you leave them, whether you're in a good place or a bad place, you leave them energized. Whether you're in a good place or a bad place, you leave them feeling not alone. Whether you're in a good place or a bad place, you feel loved and supported and cared for and seen. When you're a good place or a bad place, they charge you to want to grow.
