I'm pretty busy with work and family stuff, but if you're looking for a pen pal I'd give it a shot.

"Ew no"

Haha just kidding but making a point how most of us are our own worst enemy on this stuff. We want friends but don't make time for them.

Thank you! I knew I stole it from somewhere but didn't have a clue where from.

Ooof tell me about it that something I've done and have had done to me. I used to think friends are something you have, then a mentor explained to me that friends are an investment and we need to invest our time and emotions into them alongside that terrible thing...being vulnerable...I hate good advice

We want friends but don’t make time for them.

Definitely. I have lost really solid friends over the years, because I don't put the work in. I'm actually not that great at being a friend to others, which I'm sure isn't super uncommon.
