And then I guess the thing that I want to add is like, sometimes it's not going to be fucking easy or convenient.

Sometimes you're going to have to inconvenience yourself to show up for your friend.

And I feel like this is a blanket generalized statement, but we are living in a world where we are trying to protect our peace and set boundaries so much so that we completely lose touch with the people who absolutely love us because we're being selfish assholes.

And at the end of the day, I think it's really important that if we want to become better friends, if we want to attract better friends into our life, it starts with us first.

Sometimes you will have to show up when you are so tired and you can't be bothered and it's the last thing that you want to do because you've had a big week at work.

Like Gemma said before, we're all busy and it's just not a good enough excuse, especially if you're sitting around complaining that you have no fucking friends and that

You aren't feeling connected to anyone in your village because you don't have a village because you're not a villager.

Like there needs to be sometimes in your life periods where it is inconvenient.

You know, like Gemma and me, we live a while away from each other.

Do you think every time we want to hang out, we're like, can't wait to drive 45 minutes to see each other.

Sometimes I'm like, oh, it's peak hour traffic.

But also I know going to hang out with Gemma and making an effort in that friendship, regardless whether it's an inconvenience or not, is what I want in a friend too.

So yeah, sure as shit, I'm going to drive 45 minutes in peak hour traffic regardless because I know she would do the same for me.

So it's just being okay with, yeah, sometimes you will have to inconvenience yourself.

And unfortunately, you want better friendships.

If you want to become a better friend, if you want more depth and more connection, then

You have to be open to that sometimes.

Yeah.

We have a balance.

Do you have any other points, bestie?
