I hear you, Julie. I have had so many friends ghost me through the years, and I often never knew why. Now, in my forties, I prefer a handful of friends with whom I keep in touch regularly. And it also helps me to remember that some of my friendships serve different purposes in my life: some are my "fun" friends, but I'll never tell them my darkest secrets. Some are my "book club" friends, but I'm not going to ask them for advice. I probably have one or two people with whom I can truly, unabashedly be myself.
Also: I owned the Cake album with the song "Friend Is a Four-Letter Word," and now it is an earworm I must get rid of all day! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :)
HAHAHA, yep it was 1999 when that album became popular, Julie. No worries. I still have the album and listen to it occasionally, when I want some offbeat music. I loved “Stickshifts and Safetybelts,” for some reason. I thought it was a fun tune.

I think I saw them in, like, 1999, at a small club in London. With apologies for the earworm ;)

That is a fun one. Italian leather sofa always makes me laugh. I had to listen to the full album today!! 🤩
Yay! :)
