If I didn't get into raving , I would have four friends right now. The scene opened up a lot of friendships there alone.
But I have currently around 50 that I've met from Music Festivals or through those friends . From Albuquerque to Salt Lake City, The U.K. , Netherlands, Canada to Auburn, CA (Running Club) . Funny I currently don't have that many friends in my own city compared to everywhere else but I'm content with that.
I love having people in my life that understand that we don't have to talk every day but when we do catch up, it's like we haven't missed a beat.
Having mutual interests and hobbies helps.
