In this episode of Everything Hurts, Danielle and Cheryl break down what friendships are and how they seem to change as we age. When we’re younger, our friends are our entire world. Then we move to college and things become a bit more spaced, but you’re still thrown together into classes, dorms, etc. In our 20s, people scatter and friendships ebb and flow. Once you get into your 30s, that’s when you start to take a look at your friends and think “is this connection worth it?” In your 40s and 50s, it’s all about finding your people – the ones who match your energy and who give as much as they receive. But let’s not discount the friendships that are exactly what they are – transactional. Need to go shopping? Call [insert name here]. Want to vent? [Insert name here] is your go-to gal. Danielle and Cheryl also discuss research that gives it to us straight – it takes more than 200 hours to create a true friendship. 

We want to hear from you! 

Because it takes a village to raise…well…ourselves, we’re ready to share a laugh, a cry and even an F-bomb with you. Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, email, carrier pigeon, smoke signals, whatevs.
