friends

Remember when you were a kid, how easy it was to make new friends? There's not really any good reason it should be that hard when you’re an adult. It just is. It’s hard to make new friends. You’re limited to the friends you already had and you get temporary custody of your partner’s friends when you’re dating someone and maybe one or two people from work….and that’s about it. You can’t just go up to people and go “hey i like rocky road ice cream too. Let’s be friends.” If someone randomly comes up to you and said that, it’s a good signal that conversation is going to end up with someone getting raped and/or murdered and not necessarily in that order. And as you get older, your friends start to die off one by one. It’s not like phones or TVs. You can’t just replace your lost friend with a new one from Amazon. Wouldn’t it be great if you could though? Just order up a new one with Prime delivery. It might be a refurbished one that would be better with a new battery but it’ll do. It’s not like you need a perfect, brand-new friend. The newer models aren’t that special anyway. Sure, they’re shiny but they’re designed to be replaced every couple of years. And yeah, they might some good music, but who needs that many selfies? There’s got to be a good way to make new friends right? I mean, aside from medical marijuana prescriptions. ‘Cause that’s just too easy.
