More about Friendship

Yes, This is a Blog about Friendship

Hello! Yes, this is a blog about community and friendship. In fact, this is one of the very few friendship blogs I’ve found on the internet.

We talk about the HOW of friendship + community.

When it comes to friendship, most people talk about two things.

  1. Why friendship is important
  2. Generic ideas about friendship, with very few real life examples of how people are balancing these relationships in real life

The friend advice you will find around here — real-life ​stories about all kinds of friendships.

· New friends · True friends · Changing friendships · Friend Groups ·Ending Friendships · Creating sustainable friend groups · Old friendships · College Friendships · 

You’ll find friendship advice but in the form of stories and real-life experiences. There’s also a healthy bit of brainstorming of potential ideas too. Please explore and find the advice on friendships that feels right to you.

If you are having friend problems, this is the right place! There are tons of blogs about friendship troubles of all kinds. Dig in and find something similar. If you don’t see anything, shoot Alex an email, and let’s chat.

Making new friends? We talk about that too! Likely, there are people in your life that you don’t even realize are potential friends. We just need to invest more time into those relationships. Learn more about Alex’s Roots Theory here.

How does love affect friendships? Let’s talk about it.
