Got inspired by another post. I am so desperate, I seriously need to make friends in Atlanta. Ideally a friend who would love to be a travel buddy as well... I am 32 if that matters.

I had a hard time making friends there too. I ended up moving to a smaller city. What did help was plugging into small groups at a large church. I went though about 3 before landing a solid one. Between studies, socials, large group outings - it was a good rotation. Other than that I had a small, semi reliable group of coworker friends. You might try a professional group like ISACA or join a chamber of commerce like the French, Hispanic etc. They have lunch and learns, socials etc. If you like sports there’s always kickball but I mostly met transients and not like solid friends there. Best luck!! 💜

Thank you so much. The struggle is real

Hi! I’m in Atlanta as well :)

What kinds of things do you like to do?

At this point, I am so desperately open. Ha Ha last weekend I went hiking and definitely didn’t use to like hiking.

I enjoy being outside in general, no matter what am doing. I am not in love with sports but recently been gaining some weight so been going to OT when I can.

I know that’s TMI lol

Find a Bootcamp. If nothing else you’ll be in better shape.

Thank you, I actually need this because I have been gaining weight from eating and drinking too much and no activity.

OP, where in Atlanta? M/F? Like sports events? Also travel internationally or withing the continent?

I live in Decatur. I don’t like watching sports on TV but would go to the stadium for the ambiance and the drinks.

I travel in the US and internationally . I am actually not from the US so I go back home at least once a year and on my way, I stop by France or Belgium or Amsterdam etc ... My Best Friend lives in Paris so I visit her once a year...

I have friends but it's hard to find time together to travel most times. I'd love to have a travel buddy, I prefer traveling in US.

After tax season, we can plan some trip

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

A reminder to those who are stressed about your billable hours that your value is more than your pure productivity. To those stressed about relationships, relationships are hard even for non-lawyers, but you are absolutely worthy of love. It is an important reminder for all of us that you are worthy and you are valuable. Keep fighting!

Hi team ,
