Yes yes yes, love this! I set an intention (manifestation) last year that I wanted to make new friends. You know when you get growing pains from moving forward in life but you haven't yet found all those people that are part of this new phase? That's how I've felt. But in the past week I have had a bunch of people who I've never met before, reach out and ask to hang out or collaborate creatively and it's a surprise to myself that I manifested this (albeit in the new year but better late than never right?) I haven't necessarily felt magnetic in this sense but I'm starting to the more people reach out. Here's to the learning curves and the unapologetic moments coming back to your (new) self.
Yay! Love this. Resonate hard with moving forward in life and not being able to take everyone with you. At this point I'm on like my 5th or 6th identity. And thus group of friends. Excited for you!! Thanks for sharing :)
This really landed. The shift from consuming a city to creating for it feels like the quiet unlock here. And the in-between identity phase is described with great clarity!
I love this, especially the story of putting yourself out there with the panel idea, meeting a friend, and then a whole friend group. Community really makes self-work so much better!
There are definitely “seasons of friendship” and people serve different spaces in your life that make up all of the different parts and identities you have as a whole person. That’s what I’ve come to learn in my late 30s.
This is exactly where I am at the moment. In the ambiguity of moving on from a past life and finding a new one. And it’s amazing, and unknown and abit scary too but I hope I’m able to find the people and places that fit with who I truly am.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this article. It resonated so much as I find myself in that middle ground between letting go of an old way of being and entering a new one. I can feel the lethargic familiarity of old people, old behaviors, and old activities, but it is now coupled with the steady unfolding of a new direction - but it’s slow, steps forward are balanced with steps back. Your story of transformation gives me excitement and validation as I pursue my own transformation.
Yay! So happy to hear this, Oakley. Sending you all the positive vibes for your growth and the sparkly new chapter that awaits on the other side of the fog.

Yes, I think of friendships as: a reason, a season, or for life :)

Keep following the sparkle and trusting it will come together and you will :) Excited for you!

Closing out my 9 years in London to go back to the US - this made me feel much less nervous and excited about the next thing, thanks for sharing!
Yay! It’s all in your mindset :)
holy out of touch
I do think we all can become ‘activity girl’ for a while to shake up the system 💃🕺💃🕺
Totally, it's a great way to find a new resonance :) Thanks for sharing!
All reality is internal. Change your internal state and the world changes with you.
totally, it’s all a projection we make up :)

Wow, what a great inspirational piece.
Those meant for you will always find a way to be in your life just as those not meant for you will fall away naturally.
When you align with yourself you find only energy that matches you will present itself, everything else becomes white noise.
Thanks Elizabeth! Glad it resonated :)
As someone who just moved to London from New York, this really resonates.
In this exact spot, but slightly different cities. Thank you for the roadmap!! 🤌🏼✨🗺️
Great read - it takes work to shed the old and embrace the new, but oh, the reward! Thanks for sharing.
Glad it resonated!! <3
