#4. THE ONE ABOUT FEELING TOO OLD TO MAKE FRIENDS.

I'm in my early 30s and I don't really have friends. I have people I feel like I can talk to, but I feel like I don't have people I can do things with.


And I don't know if it's just me because I always see people on social media hanging out with their friends on the weekends, going out to do things, and I really envy that.


For context, I used to be in a group friendship. We were three girls and it was great in my early twenties, but the more we grew up, the more we disagreed because our values were changing, and I always noticed there was a lot of comparison and competition.


So as you can imagine, we all fell out at some point and that's how I ended up friendless.


I feel like I made a new friend a few years after the fall out, but that friendship didn't last.


Hmmm.... now that I'm writing this, I'm wondering - am I the problem?


Or maybe this is just my journey when it comes to friendships? Has anyone else gone through this? I wonder.


But all that to say, I really desire to make friends again. I want to do life with other people other than my family and partner.


I want to go for those road trips I see people going on with their friends, I want to go try out restaurants, I want to talk about life, and I want to do life with people who are considerate, and not in competition with anyone.


But how do people make friends at my age? Where do people even go to make friends in this Nairobi?
