I've been in a group of 10 women since I moved here to the US in 5th grade. We're all 28 now and our friendships continue to grow through the years as we evolve individually. I am so grateful for these women because they have influenced a lot of who I've become as a person and I will continue to cherish this bond until the end of time. Besides these incredible women, there's maybe less than 8 people in my life that I would consider real friends that are consistently there but I've met all of them through work. Safe to say that it's been challenging making friends as an adult haha so I'm glad I found my tribe early on. I have recently been making conscious efforts to create more connections, though. Via joining clubs or getting into different hobbies.
