Having friends outside of my life stage continues to prove very enriching. It's interesting to hear what they are thinking about / what problems they are facing. last night a friend was talking about how she's trying to parent her very independent 10 yr old son (without over-parenting). That made me think about what my mom might have been thinking when I was a very independent 10-year-old. I think that is a bud of empathy
next Tuesday, I am getting lunch with my friend who is a divorced mother of two, thats chic as fuck, and also i care about this person. we have little in common in terms of life stage, but also, sort of a lot in common

I guess not having a lot of family or guardianship, I’ve found a lot of wisdom and guidance in friendships from different age groups. People who have nurtured my empathy, broadened my understanding, and provided access to unique experiences. Even outside of deep friendships, just interacting more with different generations in a community is important to me.

started the year off right with a three hour conversation with one of my former co-workers turned friend who is probably around my parents' age. went to a funky second wave coffee shop in my hometown and sat on some comfy chairs and caught up. then afterwards, we went to a craft store to look for frames for art she wants to hang up in her home. she encouraged and inspired me so much <3 I cherish her

Some of my favorite and the coolest people I know started out as friends of my friends. This week I went to a show with a friend I met through a friend and it was genuinely spiritually healing. Sometimes you need an outsider to your life to get you

I’ve been thinking about them often, I am curious if others feel similar
