You people bring me joy. I asked a helper about friendships, as mine are other Walls. Here&#8217;s what I got for you: People will surprise you&#8211;the ones who stick; people will disappoint you&#8211;those you think should be your peeps but it never gels; and friendships are fluid, even for the best of friends. Find people where you need no facade&#8211;they make you laugh, and appreciate the true you. Finally, in my experience, you have to spend a lot of time with people for friendships to get traction. My closest friends include former housemates, former coworkers, a volunteering partner, and a BFF from childhood. Sending love on your friendship journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you. You people bring me joy. I asked a helper about friendships, as mine are other Walls.
