I have officially reached the late 20s of my challenge and am considering how I may use the remaining time to 'transition' into 'where I want to be as I continue my real life 30s.
Have a solid group of friends
I went to visit my friend in Scotland for the weekend and had a lovely time with her including planning a city break hopefully for later in the year. It also gave me the chance to get to know her husband a bit better which was lovely.
Each week I go to a pub quiz with my mum and 2 friends. We make a good team as our ages span 33 years with 2 of us in their sixties, one in their 40s and me. It feels odd to say I'm such good friends with my mum, have a surrogate mum who has known me all my life and a best friend who is 13 years older than me, but I feel these are my true friends.
Speaking of which, I have come to the conclusion that I have outgrown my 2 school friends. It feels like I've been replaced by a boyfriend and a sister who is now old enough to do things and as awful as it sounds I can't be bothered anymore. I have cleared message reels and will wait for them to contact me and if that means the end of a friendship, I won't feel too much loss now.
Have a fling
After getting my hopes up and writing my number down on a piece of paper, my real-life crush shattered my dreams with two simple words: 'my girlfriend'. I internally screamed, real life cried when I got home and could go on an extended rant about never meeting anyone but I'll put it down to the rejections and dating disasters that are so synonymous with your 20s.
Maybe I'll try and hope one of his friends is single.
