Beautiful friendships are therapy and joy. The older a person gets, it’s harder when your bff’s die off. Trusting “new” people is challenging not just for political reasons 😝, but it only takes one to make life fun again. My husband is my bff❤️

Lorriane, you had me hook, line, and sinker the moment you let loose a torrent of colorful language on Substack. It was like watching a sailor with Tourette's recite Shakespeare - equal parts shocking and impressive!

Forging friendships is a wild ride, I tell ya. It's a crazy cocktail of finesse, fortune, and sheer stubbornness. Imagine tossing a plate of mom's spaghetti at the wall, crossing your fingers, and praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that a couple of noodles will cling on for dear life. I've been there, done that, and got the sauce-stained t-shirt! I've dived headfirst into the most peculiar pastime gatherings (who would've thought Underwater Basket Weaving was actually a thing?), and I've even resorted to babbling incoherently at my coffee slinger (trust me, you CAN form lifelong bonds over the intricate art of steamed milk). Oh, and let's not forget the time I accidentally gate-crashed a book club meeting and stayed for the free grub. Talk about awkward! But hey, sometimes the most bizarre attempts lead to the most incredible friendships.

I like to think of my real-life and Substack pals as co-stars in the same film noir adventure I'm living. We're all just a bunch of misfits trying to navigate this crazy world, seeking solace and companionship in the midst of the chaos. It's like we're in this together, starring in our very own movie: "Love, Laughs, and Lunacy in the Time of Chaos." Because at the end of the day, we're all just looking for a partner in crime and a port in the storm, even if we have to wade through a sea of expletives to find 'em!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Love ya! Mean it. 🩷🩷🩷🩷
