maybe it’s a quick coffee chat or a 2hr dinner or just an arts and crafts sesh but i want to know about my friends lives! even with the busyness of life i want to make sure i set time aside to make sure my friends know i appreciate them. i’ve had way too many friendships just slowly fizzle out because we text every few weeks saying we should catch up and never do.

being an adult can get real busy, and I don’t have as much time to see my friends anymore. our solution for this has become a regular debrief night every 1-2 months. here’s the structure:
- cook or order a meal together
- come in the comfiest clothes
- late at night is ideal
- prepare throughout the week by building a PowerPoint with sections for each friend detailing important updates/occurrences in their lives (I like to present mine as little stories with pics for reference)
- appendix at the end of the ppt of new friends, enemies, and everyone’s “OOO” dates so we can make plans accordingly
these nights have come to be some of the best memories for us, and is now something everyone in our circles knows about - anytime something happens, someone asks us “will this/I be in the debrief now?” it’s structured fun and a great way to stay connected with my people. highly recommend if you have the time!

I have friends all over the place and it’s not enough to just like their shit on social media, it’s good to call every couple of months and just have a life check in.

Why is this such a lost art? Bring together those friends that would never have met other wise. Make the people you love, love each other.
I recently had a small birthday wine n dine with my friends and anticipated awkwardness between my different groups of friends, but it was the complete opposite. God I love my friends and love making a space for them to mingle and laugh in eeeee. I think in a time where my friends and I are transitioning to adulthood and focusing on careers, this brings something to look forward to and a way to create a world outside of work and study.
