Are we done with making friends before we're adults? Here's why the poet says it is better when you're older when you pick your friends.
Are we done with making friends before we’re adults? Here’s why the poet says it is better when you’re older when you pick your friends.
You are in your twenties/thirties/xties And you think you are stuck with the friends you made When you were younger and happier I want you to know and understand You are dead wrong There is no end date to which you can make new friends
Yes, it’s harder but it isn’t impossible In fact, it’s better this way You’re at the right age for forging real connections For you know who you are and what you want
Unlike in the past, you don’t have to conform You can choose people you actually want to hang with Without worrying about fitting in Without caring about what the world thinks of you Isn’t that worth the fear of reaching out to strangers? Or putting in time and patience for friendship to blossom?
In the end, the choice is in your hands Of making friends who totally get you Or letting the status quo take over So that you never dare to expand your circle
