Wild We Roam | Lou's Bread Is Making Us New Friends : ) @WildWeRoam | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
What has your experience making friends as an adult been like? Lou and I have moved to a lot of different places over the years and have slowly found our rhythm when it comes to meeting new people and finding our community, but every time we do it at the beginning I get a little nervous. Are we going to be able to find people that we just click with? Life in a new place can be isolating at first, but when things start to fall into place and friendships start blossoming life becomes so much richer.
One of the things that I've realized as we've set up life in new places is the importance of experiences bringing people together. When you actually do things together whether it's going on a hike, going camping, cooking together, playing board games... these activities create memories. I know this isn't rocket science but it's so easy to get into a pattern of just meeting someone for coffee or a drink and as an adult, you don't have the luxury of all that downtime of school life, so you might not see someone for a while. Sure you could have a great conversation, but finding someone with a shared passion/hobby means you can actually create regular opportunities to do things together. Go to a yoga class. Create a book club. Get creative!
Lately, Lou's sourdough hobby has been such a beautiful way for us to connect with new friends. Trading sourdough for puppy sitting or sourdough in this case for a TON of beautiful ripe fruit. Handmade gifts even little things are so appreciated and can bring you closer than you expected to those around you!
I'm feeling super grateful to be at the beginning of a bunch of beautiful new friendships and can't wait to see how life unfolds in the coming months!
Big hugs,
Dana
