Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The way people talk about their friends is a great way to learn about them. We can learn a lot about a friendship by listening to how it began. Are they brand-new friends who are obsessed with each other right now. Have they known each other for decades.

#2

Big friendships are difficult to untangle. As humans, we are all thoroughly shaped by the people we know and love. We grow in response to each other, in ways both intentional and subconscious.

#3

At her first magazine job, Ann loved working for the fact-checkers. She felt like she was shaping her life into something she loved. But she was surviving on canned beans and unsure of her next professional step.

#4

Ann was transferred to Washington, DC, to start a job at a political magazine. She was sure it was the right choice for her career, but she didn’t want to live in a swamp full of status-obsessed former debate champions.

#5

Ann, however, was grateful for the job, given the apocalyptic predictions for her industry. She stuck it out, working her way up to editing long articles for the print magazine. She spent her days editing opinion pieces about how this economic collapse was a once-in-a-lifetime policy opportunity.

#6

Ann had met a girl named Aminatou in DC two years before she moved there, and Aminatou had always felt like she didn’t fit in. She had always felt drawn to the city because of its architecture, and she had always felt like she would live there as an adult.

#7

Aminatou, having moved to the United States on a student visa, was now working on an H-1B work visa. She was hired at a think tank, but was mostly relegated to sending mail and entering data. She was frustrated that no one had anything substantive for her to do.

#8

We met in our 20s, when we were both looking to establish our own village on the shore. We were lucky that we had both made our way to the same city, within a few years of each other.

#9

It can be difficult to find friends, and this can be especially true for those who are looking for friendships rooted in deep connection. But when you do find those friends, it’s worth it.

#10

The first whirlwind moments of a relationship can feel a lot like love. They can be effortless, and it can feel like you don’t have any control over them. But they can also be difficult, and you may have to try hard to make them work.
