Hi, I’ve become pretty introverted especially as I’ve gotten older. Honestly I’m just looking for a deeper connection than what I’ve come across on Reddit lately. I’d like a friend, someone who wants to actually connect ask random questions and potentially build a long lasting friendship.

Little about me, I live on the east coast of U.S. I’m married with 4 kids, I love cooking/baking, learning how to play piano, would like to get back into working out (potentially even bodybuilding). I’m not really that interesting but I’m willing to talk about different topics. I guess I just want someone to match my energy some who genuinely would like to connect. No one-sided convos. Also I’d prefer female friends.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post on here, but after seeing others posts it inspired me to share my experience/story. I recently just got an explant after 7 years of having breast implants. I got them because I was feeling insecure about my body and appearance and never truly feeling like a “woman”.. as time went on I realized what a silly reason to change your body, because what you look like on the outside shouldn’t represent who you are on the inside.

Anyway.. I got them out and honestly I feel great about it. I feel like I now have the chance to love myself the way I should have loved myself back then. Also I am actually pretty happy with the result. My right breast is pretty much the same as before the implants, but my left one looks a bit deflated. It’s only been about 2 weeks since the procedure so I know I need to give it time. Either way I’m feeling more and more like myself again and I’m happy about that. It’s nice to have others who are in similar situation as me, so thank you all for the inspiration and support 💕

Why is it so hard to find a friend… someone you can talk to about nothing and everything at the same time? A friendship that doesn’t feel forced or one-sided. Someone you can laugh with, cry with, travel with, cook with, and share random recipes and videos with.
Rant over… it just feels so hard sometimes lol
