Dear friends, old and new,
We’ve established that friends come and go. Sometimes it’s through argument or disagreement, as we discussed last time. Other times it might be death, moving or marriage that affect our friendships. Life circumstances such as great success, divorce, or having a child also impact friendships dramatically.
Sometimes, periods of growth or spiritual awakening can cause big changes in our friend network. When we grow and change a great deal – or when our friends do – a friendship may no longer be a match. Whatever the reason, it’s seldom easy when we find ourselves with a shortage of friends. When this happens we may feel lonely or unsupported.
Just as Covid began, I settled in a place where, while not entirely new to me, I had few close local friends. I’d done this many times on WalkAbout, landing in a new place, knowing only one or no others and having to make friends.
However, moving to Oklahoma City just as Covid started created an unusual situation for me, most of my friends were now virtual, spread along my WalkAbout path around the world. And making new friends had now become complicated by Covid. I sometimes felt lonely.
On WalkAbout, I’d discovered there were two types of in-person friendships needed each time I changed location. The first was at least one or two persons I could develop deep ties with. The second was a larger group of friends I could enjoy and share a support group with. Both were vital and I found them fairly easily on WalkAbout. (more…)
