easier said than done, but I find that talking my day through and connecting with someone boosts my mood and becomes more essential the older I get. I am lucky because my roommate and I are close friends, but even having a quick dinner with someone else or calling someone on the phone to catch up can be so fulfilling! it’s also great to vent about work, get a second opinion on things, or share the oddities of your day. Makes life better!
Bonus: go on a walk with a friend or on a walk while calling someone

there’s something so satisfying about a lengthy hangout. there are so many shifts and unspoken compromises between people, roles assumed and forfeited. it’s just awesome, i love my friends.

A lot of my friends live in a different state than me and I take the train up to see them semi-regularly, which gives me something to look forward to often and makes hanging out feel extra special. I’ve also found that by coming to town local friends are brought together who otherwise may not have seen eachother for a while because life in proximity can often shake out to a “I can always see them next weekend” mentality. Visiting helps to sustain an intentionality to my friendships’ which I like and think is important. Having friends visit is also very sweet and a rewarding experience that makes my heart swell. Additionally, having sleepovers as an adult is rare but sleeping next to your friend and having a coffee in the morning is a top tier experience which is not going to go wasted on me.
