I'm Twenty-Two and Making Friends

I'm Twenty-Two and Making Friends...Kinda

I've had great friends for the past four years in Florida. Yes, I had to make them, but instead of really going way out of my way to make their acquaintance; we naturally fell into each others' lives. One day I didn't know them, and then the next, they're my best friends. Now, I'm sure that the reality of that process spanned for more than 24 hours, but it all happened so quickly. It happened so quickly that I didn't take the opportunity to slow down and take notes on exactly what steps I took to effectively carry out this process. Major mistake on my part.

After 5 days of living in Philly, I would offer my soul up to the friend gods in hopes of acquiring those treasured techniques that would grant me friends that actually like me. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm no lonely. I keep in touch with my friends back home, and I have one of my best friends as my roommate. I'm blessed to have those people in my life. I really am.

I've thrown myself into the film community here and already jumped on to a project. I've met the people and they're unbelievable nice and conversational. I've already made connections with fellow baristas at my Starbucks that I work at. This is simple for me because these are environments that I come into my own. I'm confident in what I'm saying. Simply put, I am able to talk to people and not sound stupid.

With all of that being said, I'm eager to meet people who don't just make coffee and make movies. I'm eager to meet those who just want to grab a cup of coffee or "hangout" for the hell of it. I'm sure there are those out there. If any of those are out there and live within a 2 mile radius of Center City, Philadelphia, PA then please come find me. I give great hugs, I tell corny jokes, I have a decent beard, and I'm hoards of fun to be around.

I guess it's time to strap on the overalls, and go out into the world. Today I'm learning to ride the subway....Mom if I don't come back, I just want you to know, that the money you gave me to buy "groceries" back in college was spent on copious amounts of alcohol. I don't regret that decision at all. Just wanted to deliver to you some peace of mind.

So here I am.

I'm Twenty-Two and Making Friends.

Peace and Blessins,
