you've spent 18 years of your life in the same place, with the same group of people. and suddenly you realize you're not interested in any of it anymore.
Full Episode
If you feel like your hometown friends suck, it actually means something incredibly good is happening to you. How can that be true? You have spent 18 to 22 of your years alive in the same place. You've made memories with the same group of people that you feel so close to. And suddenly you begin to realize that you're not really as interested in the things that these people are interested in.
You're not as passionate about getting fucked and drinking milk and having a happy dad seltzer. Instead, you want to create art, or you want to take photos, or, when I don't take the piss out of things, you just want to have a good time without having to be a degenerate. Right? Or am I wrong?
And for a lot of us that do grow up in hometowns, the only thing to do is be a degenerate because we've done everything else there is to do. We spent, you know, our first couple of years going to all the playgrounds and all the parks. Then when we were in elementary school, we played all the sports. And then in middle school, we did all the rising on kick messenger and Instagram.
And then in high school, well, we started to flirt with degeneracy and look what we have here.
We can do everything that comes. The Handwerk.

Growing distant from your childhood slash hometown friends is difficult. Because these are the people you spent so much time with. And to suddenly realize that you don't really fit in with them anymore is crushing. When I moved to Athens, Georgia to go to the University of Georgia, go Dawgs, woof woof. I already knew that this was going to happen.
I had already seen three high school friend groups self-destruct in a matter of months, and I could imagine that me not being home with my friends, well, I wasn't gonna have the same things to talk about.
I was hopeful, I kept in touch with a lot of my friends, but to be completely honest with you, when I got back home to Palatine, Illinois, a lot of my friends and I just didn't have much to talk about. Now, have I lived a bunch of experiences that would've been cool to talk about?
