When we were kids it was easy to make friends. BFFs were the girls that lived in our neighborhood and the kids we were in class with. Then in college and our early 20s, proximity still played a big role in friendships but we also started to gravitate towards people that had interests similar to ours. After a few life transitions, we soon realized it isn't so easy to make and keep good friends. It wasn’t until recently that Kimberly Amici discovered the rules for grown-up friendships were a bit different from when she was a kid.
