I have found that the older I get the harder it is to make friends that I actually trust. I spent 2 years in isolation because of my disorder and because of fear of putting myself out there. I have been burned more times than I care to remember, but with every mistake comes a lesson learned and growth. So I pick and choose who I let in and the others I keep at a superficial level. I am a mom so even if I don't have a ton in common with other women, at least I can relate to other moms who have been through the same parenting stuff. Through that connection I have found a few really great friends that I trust. Making friends takes time and effort, sometimes they find you and sometimes you find them. Either way, they're out there and they're in here too!
