In a previous post, some people mentioned their goal was to make new friends. How do you go about making friends as adult? I feel like it’s easier when active in some sort of organization or going out to local events. What do you think?

Definitely find common ground, whether it's volunteer work on a charity you both care deeply about, participating in a sport or hobby you both love, etc. It's so much easier to strike up a friendship when you know right out of the gate that you both already have at least one thing in common.

Throw yourself out there. It's definitely a lot easier when you have a network to go off on but it's still possible to do without it if you bust out of your comfort zone. Go out more. You'll find interesting people arouund parks, libraries, restaurant, cafes, even hiking trails.

For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

A majority of society tends to stick around to things because they are influenced by "enough" people doing something similar. Hence, they start living someone else's life instead of theirs.

Think about what you want for yourself, what's important, what you value. Then, ask yourself. Do I have these things? Am I living by the things that are important to me?
