randomly contacting old friends
I always found it hard to keep in contact with people since I'm not the best texter. Plus, I usualy felt like a floater friend, like I just wasn't in the loop cause people liked others more. Of course, growing apart is nothing bad and if they were truly like that, than it's better that I'm no longer friends with them. However, I got in contact with someone I hadn't spoken with for a long time and it was great. Life gets busy and a lot of people are full in their head from everything. It's not always cause they never think of you (anymore) or don't value your friendship.

Agree. Catched up with a friend I haven't spoken to in a minute not so long ago and that was great.

Have felt the same before and it’s so hard but it’s good to reach out. As I’ve gotten older and more comfortable I realize all you can do is authentically put yourself out there and be vulnerable and whatever you do or don’t get back is real. Friendship and relationships are so interesting!

always a relief to be reminded that I’m not the only one who feels like the floater friend due to being a bad texter 😭 this gave me a little push to message some friends I haven’t spoken to in a while. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to start that initial text though

i remember i broke the ice when reaching out to an old friend by sending them a post that reminded me of her. i was hesitant at first but i just did it b/c she had to see it! haha. and the convo sort of flowed from there afterwards. but yea, drifting apart is bittersweet

GROWING APART AND THEN GROWING BACK TOGETHER
one of my favorite things about getting older is learning that this happens! my childhood best friend and i drifted way apart in high school and college, but over the past couple years have found that we actually have a lot in common again and have reconnected. we were always in each other’s lives but now it’s in a much deeper way. now i’m less anxious when i feel drifting from other friends — if we’re ever on the same path again, we’ll find each other. letting the ebbs and flows happen. i agree with the people who said it’s nice to reach out in small ways just to keep them in your orbit without putting a lot of pressure on ~connecting~

reconnecting with old friends
if theres someone you still think about and haven’t talked to in forever it is never too late to reach out to them imo! i have done this a bunch and the worst that happens is we reminisce about fun times before the conversation fizzles out, and that is still a sweet experience!!
i just started talking to my old best friend again after a few years and just falling back into having everyday normal conversations w her as if we never stopped talking has lifted my mood so much. dm ur childhood friends right now i’m serious

Keeping contact with old friends
I moved countries when I was younger and one of the things I've felt super guilty about recently is not being as close to my childhood friends as I used to be, so I have been making the concious effort to reach out again. Not letting go of friendships that you really value is super important I think.

Trying hard and still being average
Trying hard is sometimes being looked down upon, it's not "cool". You know what, who cares. I get comments so often, like "your intense, you're such a try hard or why do you actually ...". I used to see it as weird/mean comments, until later when I realised some people just hate to see others actually enjoying themeselves. Another thing, the fact that I'm doing my best doesn't mean that I excell and tbh I used to find that a bit depressing. But recently I've learned to embrace the fact that it's actually quite nice to just do things, whatever the result. Def a change in mindset on things, but it has been a really nice change in mindset so far.

tomato dips and pan con tomate
Just grate or cut your tomatoes, add some pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Dip whatever in it or spread it out on some bread (then it would be pan con tomate I think) and put on some flaky sea salt. Its fresh, light and delicous. I also like bruschetta, but sometimes the garlic on the bread is a bit too pungent in the morning. It's easy to make and has been my obsession lately.
