Every piece you have written so far has me yelling ME TOO at my phone and this one the most. It's so reassuring and comforting to know this is felt by others and you write so beautifully. And give so much hope with a good dash of humour. What a magical thing you did starting to share these writings!

What an inspiring post to read. I love you even more for sharing this and I can relate to so much of it. You're a treasure in my jewel box (and no doubt, so many others). It gives me faith that I will find my "tribe" one day, too. But even without one, recognizing the immense gratitude I have for those in my corner. You're amazing little lady. Keep shining so brightly onto all those you reach with your beautifully written words. Xx

Wow I love this. I struggled with friendships. I was lucky to stumble into a friendship group in my late twenties. I've moved away since and never made the same kind of friends in my new town, in 15 yrs. I've kept the same old friends and see them and speak to them often.

I have always felt like the only person I know who doesn’t have a “core group” but reading this has made me feel so seen. Just perfectly written x

A core group of girlfriends is admittedly the one thing that is missing in my late twenties aside from a fulfilling career. The career part I'm working on and feel I have more control over. But I've found female friendships to be a real mystery. Especially since our paths start to diverge after uni - some of us get married and have babies, some want to travel the world, others start their own businesses. I still don't know how I will ever find my coterie but I think online communities are a great starting point. Your story gives me hope! Thank you for sharing x

I needed this! Still not found my tribe, but hopeful that they are out there somewhere. Brilliant, honest writing.

Hard relate! Thank you for this and so glad you have finally found yours... I now have a WhatsApp group randomly brought together who feel like the tribe I’ve been looking for but as I’ve never met them and none are close by, it’s still not quite the same...maybe one day!
