I have never been one who finds it easy to make friends. It's always been hard for me to find someone with which I can be infinitely comfortable and share everything with. I did find one once, but then I went and married him and now he doesn't count. Now, I don't want to neglect the many wonderful friends I have had, but the problem is that they never seem to stay in my vicinity for long. My life is marked by goodbyes, and I move around a lot. I don't see this fact changing any time soon. It's hard to maintain a close friendship when you are anything but. My best friends from my hometown are over 300 miles away nowadays. This post makes no sense, but basically what I am trying to say is that it's really hard to make friends after college. All of a sudden you have to make plans with people weeks in advance (I admit I am extremely guilty of this, too) in order to hang out. No more showing up at their door with a six pack, some gummi worms and a comedy to watch. And even in college I found it nearly impossible to make and keep friends of my own. Sometimes I think I'm so bad at it that I find it hard to believe I have EVER made a friend. Someone should write a making friends guide for adults. I would totally read that.
