if making friends as an adult is hard, try doing it disabled

We’ve all heard it before... that making friends as an adult is hard.

Well… try making friends as a disabled adult, right?

I’ve never found it particularly easy to make friends. And I’ve certainly never been part of any kind of “popular” group. But growing up, I guess circumstances just kind of handed me friendship by default.

I went to the same, small school for all 12 years, so it was kind of like I had a built-in friend group there.

In college, it was easy to be friends when we were partying a lot, pulling caffeine fuelled all-nighters, and bonding over the insanity that was film school.

I never exactly fit in, but I fit in just enough.

Adulthood, though? Whole different story.
