How to Find Better Friends | Feel Good Friday Story #11

You don’t stumble into good company. You create the conditions for it. Last month I talked about solitude versus connection — choosing your company deliberately instead of defaulting to whoever shows up. A lot of you responded to that one. This is the follow up. Not the theory. The practice. 3.5 years on the road across two countries and dozens of volunteer placements taught me something nobody warns you about — your default social safety net disappears overnight when you hit the road long term. No coworkers, no neighbours, no built-in community of any kind. Which forces a question most people never have to ask: what do I actually want in a friend? Here's what I've figured out — and how you can apply it whether you're on the road or not. Feelgood Friday drops the first Saturday of every month — real human connections, real stories, no highlight reel. Just proof the world is full of good people if you're intentional enough to go find them. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. 👇 What's one quality you refuse to compromise on in a close friendship?
