Back in high school, I watched I Love You, Man and thought it was hilarious… but I couldn’t relate at all. I was everywhere: salutatorian in the scholar crowd, on the math team, captain of the football team, four-year varsity baseball player, and just starting to find my music crew. I had so many friend groups that the idea of struggling to meet people seemed impossible.

Fast forward to now… and wow, it’s a different story. I’m holding onto old friends by a thread and finding it almost impossible to make new ones. Everyone’s deep in hustle mode, working nonstop. Back in the day, people made friends at work. Now we’re so burnt out after hours that we just need space from each other.

I don’t have the solution, but I know this: real friendships are worth protecting. Every connection counts. I wrote this song to remind myself, and maybe you, to cherish the ones we’ve got.
