You never know who you could meet if you don't talk to more strangers. You could be missing out on new friends, new perspectives and new opinions you may never have been exposed to. Some food for thought that keep me occupied last month:)

I've made a bucketlist to help get me through the darker and colder months and make it a bit more fun!

I've been putting to use the tips already out there and will be giving you advice from my experience of what actually works and what doesn't because travelling around a lot is not very conducive to making and maintaining friendships.

The beginning of a series that will pop up here and there but after deciding to move abroad for a bit I decided to read 'What a Time to Be Alone' by Chidera Eggerue.

Have you ever felt overinspired? Answer the poll below! Find me :) 📷 Instagram & Tiktok: @fortun4te_ 🎥 YouTube: @fortunate - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOPOjZi9aJA

After a debrief of a very fun and chaotic new year, today I take a deep dive into sociological theory to (try to) explain why we are different versions of ourselves within different friendships. Society is so complex; our social interactions are shaped by how we consciously and subconsciously present ourselves. I think this is so so interesting so I thought I would discuss it in relation to friendships - something I hope you can also relate to.
