A couple of years ago, like one does, I decided to leave friendships that were not of service of my values, my mental health and that were being detrimental. The result of that meant I became the person I wanted to be without losing myself, it meant I was happier and healthier, and that my friend pool was practically nonexistent.

For the past few years, it's been alright to deal with but I've been missing the aspects of what healthy friendships entail. like connection, bonding, and spending quality time together. And I think as human beings, being alone is ok in doses, but being together builds community. I miss that. I miss good ol' game nights.

I've been going to thrift stores a lot lately, and I've been picking up adult games that seem fun to play. Who's down to play some? Whether it be online via video or in person. I'm open to the possibility that this is the first step to regaining and connecting to some amazing human beings.
