This year I am going on my own transformational journey to living an abundant life and what it would really take to start living the life I want today.

This week I started to focus in on the things that matter to me in this journey and I started with creating and building community and friendship and also consistently prioritizing the amount of sleep I am getting.

Might seem like really easy stuff if you're an extrovert and have a really out going personality and you have never been someone who bought into hustle culture so getting less than 6 hours of sleep seems purely insane to you. But i struggle to sleep enough and to put myself into new situations to have friends and build relationships.

I was in the car headed back from the event I went to this weekend and we all were talking about how hard it can be to make friends and getting attached to people just to fall out of touch and how much we wished there was a friendship questionnaire form we could just give prospective friends and know right out the gate if we would vibe or not.

However, we are yet to find a casual way to slip someone an interview questionnaire that doesn't seem crazy and while I wish it was an option I might not have ever made the friends I have if I was only looking for a certain type of person. Making new friends is going to be messy. Losing new people is going to feel discouraging. Not knowing when to text someone and when to not be annoying is a whole mess in and of itself.

But it's important to be to live an abundant life that includes other humans. So cheers to trying to make that all work out for me.
