I've lost touch with a lot of people over the past 5-6 years. I've jumped jobs, built up my career, moved locations, got married, had 2 kids, and I'm just naturally a home-body. One thing I've neglected is building and maintaining friendships.
Whether it just be going to a dinner party every week or so or just making plans with people that aren't my wife+kids, I should get out more.
I also really want to start playing D&D regularly again, so that might be a good place to start.
I say this as someone who didn’t really do anything fun during the vast majority of college and tried to work hard.
Without spending time socially (outside of daily interaction) I was really just sabotaging myself.
Also, living on my own now and working a full time job, I think it’s important to focus on it to make sure I don’t let my mental health slip out of self imposed isolation (which has been a recurring theme in my life).
