Been through some crazy life stuff, but after a long absence, I am back! Not sure if anyone will even remember me, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.

I'm Krystle, and I have loved MLP since I was a kid. I have mostly G1's in my collection.

I am going to be purging some of my collection soon as I have hospital bills that must be paid off and I want to attend Otakon in August.

I've missed looking at everyone's brags and such.

 

I am writing this for the sake of swaps, etc. I am currently not spending much $ on ponies for myself until my current swap is over, so if you message me about a pony I am looking for, just know I don't wish to be a time-waster but am not really buying as much at the present time.

To be continually updated over time.

Anyways... the ponies...

  This is not a rant, but more so a discussion about transitioning into real adulthood and making friends/maintaining friendships. 

So, I am 24 now, been out of college for two years now. Virtually all my high school friends are no long a part of my life outside facebook, and my college friends are dwindling as well. Most of them live in or around New Jersey, and my car problems have kept me from visiting anyone since before Thanksgiving. The communications become fewer and further between, and I can sense that eventually most will fizzle out, sadly.

I am finding it hard to make friends now that I don't interact with a lot of people my age who like the things I do. I have become friends with a lot of my boyfriend's friends, but it's not exactly like I can hang out with them without him.

I like the people I work with, but none seem to want to make time for us all to hang out outside of work all that often. Maybe, working together 40 hours + a week is enough for everyone.  I dunno. So, I pretty much have no friends of my own who I can see in real life more than a few times a year. Is that weird? I would really love a friend to go thrifting with or to start a sewing/craft circle. Anything! I love my boyfriend but I need to interact with other people, lol.    I enjoying taking my little sister out on adventures, but we are eight years apart in age. She just turned 16, and she is so over-book with school activities. She's getting to that age where she's gonna start driving herself around. She is pretty much the closest friend I have anymore, which is probably pretty normal for sisters I guess.

Everyone at this age is moving away, getting married, having babies, or has just changed so much that friendships dissolve.

I just don't know how to go about meeting new friends... Maybe you just don't have as many friends when you're an adult? Is this normal?  What are your experiences? Does anyone "grown up" here still have a lot of friends or have most become acquaintances?

I feel like there is only so much you can make your significant other do with you, if you have one. My poor Zach has been pretty great about doing a lot of things that I want to do that he isn't exactly crazy about, just so I won't have to do it alone... But it sure would be nice to have a buddy to do all that stuff with.

Sorry if I sound pathetic! I am interested to hear your thoughts, ponies.
