I’m shy typing this 😭

why is making friends as an adult so hard though ?! i actually want to make mum friends and if i don’t try it’s not going to happen, it takes a lot of intentionality and effort! but you see friendship, it’s truly a gift when it’s genuine, anyway this is me putting myself out there i guess 🙈
