Find friends who love arts & creativity
Making things side by side creates a kind of closeness that small talk never reaches. Showing someone an unfinished painting, a rough draft, or a lopsided mug is a small act of trust, and trust is what friendships run on. Creative friends also push you to keep going, since a standing studio night is much harder to skip than a solo plan.
