| 0:00.0 | Hello, good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm your host, Lan, or Alana, and today's episode is all about friendships, specifically |
| 0:13.1 | female friendships and friendships in your 20s. |
| 0:16.7 | I feel like I get asked so many questions about how to meet girls in your 20s, how to meet friends, how to maintain friendships, how to find deeper connections, especially in adulthood. |
| 0:28.9 | And I feel like this is something that isn't talked about enough. |
| 0:32.7 | We talk so much about dating and careers, but not enough about what it feels like when your friendship starts |
| 0:40.0 | shifting, when people drift, when you feel lonely, when you realize you're not as close to the |
| 0:44.9 | people who once felt like family, or maybe you move to a new city and you're trying to feel |
| 0:49.2 | grounded and create that social circle again. And just like the things that go through and happen in your 20s, |
| 0:56.7 | especially as a female. I feel like guys. And I'm sorry if you're a guy and you're listening to |

| 1:06.6 | friends with the same like five or however many people they have been friends with four years, |
| 1:11.8 | either since elementary school, middle school, high school, university, they're all still |
| 1:17.5 | friends with those same people. Like their core group of friends is pretty much the same. Whereas I |
| 1:23.1 | feel like with girls, because our relationships are so much deeper and more emotional and there's so much |
| 1:29.9 | more vulnerability and like I can't think of another word as opposed to depth as compared to |
| 1:35.9 | male friendships. I feel like there's a lot more drama and fallouts and growing apart and |
| 1:43.1 | things that happen and change as we get older and as we mature |
| 1:46.7 | and grow up and all these things. And so if you're feeling like your friendships are in a weird |
| 1:53.0 | place right now or you're in that in between space of outgrowing old connections while still |
| 1:58.8 | looking for your new people, I want you to know that you're not |
| 2:01.6 | alone. I'm someone who has definitely been through my fair share of friendships. I have my friends |
