      I truly understand why you don't have that go-to-person. When the time comes you will know it. Just wondering if you attend church now.
      I love you though. Love your accent and I feel blessed to have found you in this space❀. I have friends(not many though) but I have my church family. You are wonderful! Your sense of humour is next to none

      Very hurtful I recently got a friend and every time we go shopping and I buy anything. Even though her style is not the same as mine she would just want whatever she see me with. And try to get something like it or the same thing and started trying to dress exactly like me if I stop at her house she would just steal whatever she wants out the bag if I go😂 to the bathroom and next time I see her she would be wearing it in front of me and trying to tell me it’s not mine she bought it somewhere else she was much bigger than me but would squeeze herself into whatever it was as long as it stretched. The last straw was when I stop at her house another day and took my wig and a hat that I was wearing of and put them in a plastic bag while sitting in the kitchen 😅 and she ask me you wanna put the bag in the room and took the wig and hat out the bag I ask her for my bag when I was leaving and she pretended as if she didn’t know what bag I was talking about then she finally gave me the bag and say check it I didn’t because I didn’t expect her to steal a wig that I had already worn I check when I was already outside and she said you could get it tomorrow and then she didn’t answer her phone when she finally answered her phone she said she didn’t know what I was talking about I stopped dealing with her and saw her one day walking on the street with same hat and wig on. I just said you thief and keep walking. Never spoke to her again.

    Probably one of the most important people in my life journey was my first Padrino (may he RIP). He lived in Jamaica for about 10 years before he left for the USA (,same dangerous Mexico crossing), but he built a good life in Miami before he passed away.

    Your experiences in life makes you wiser and stronger. As the saying goes keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. There’s a lot of frenemies around. Never take anyone for granted in your life. I have learnt this the hard way..
    Being friendless can be a blessing in disguise a lot of the time. So stay blessed and keep being true to yourself. Having a lot of acquaintances is not a bad thing either it keeps you informed and life goes on.😊

    Thank you, Flor. You are wonderful and enough all by yourself. It is common to have fewer friends as we get older and that is OK. In fact, even the experience of friendship changes and you realize you don't need a lot of friends and practically can't maintain a lot of friendships because other commitments take priority. Sometimes, just one good friend is plenty.

    I enjoyed your very honest and transparent disclosure of personal experiences. I do have friends but not so much in the community where I live here in Jamaica. I moved from the southern coast to St. Ann. I had a circle of woman friends there, some of who I keep in touch with to this day. When I moved here I missed the female sisterhood that I have always known. I prayed about it and then through a yoga class I found a new sisterhood that were like minded and spirited. I like having deep conversations with both male and female but it is a little bit trickier with males. Some men haven't experienced a "platonic" kind of closeness with a female without a sexual connection. With my girlfriends we like to go to nature places, do yoga, go get something to eat. One particular friend who comes and goes to Jamaica, likes karaoke so I do that with her. I do alot of things that keeps me active and connected. We learn from all of life's experiences and I can tell you have as well. You seem to be a joyful person able to be genuine and with no time for any thing that would lead you to not be the person who you are. So am I. I wish you well and look forward to more of your videos as I am now subscribed. Yes you are mature for your age because some women still haven't found the true selves and purpose. Be well and Buena Suerte .....

    I resonate with this deeply. I too was an only child until the age of 12 when my siblings were born. We lived far up on the hills which left me isolated and I played by myself alot. I did notice that I was super insecure and shy even when I had friends especially other female friendships. I think the insecurity came from not fitting in or not having the same interest as the group. As I aged I realized I had a tendacy to attract alot of fren-enemies and overpowerimg personalities that enjoyed pushing my boundaries. Now that im older im more self assured and dont care as much about frivolous connections. Im quiet content being by myself and enjoy interacting with strangers here and there. Truth be told, being in solitude and enjoying your own company seems to make others suspicious as hell of you. Its like they cant fathom how someone can enjoy their own company 😂.

    I was always a loner growing up till now but I have learnt to be content in the matter. I believe the deep things we would want to share with another person, we should choose to share it with God who cares for us. At the right time in life, God will connect us with the right person with whom we can open up to who will understand us and be our true selves with. Speaking from experience, God is faithful to provide. On my friendless journey, I had to endure encountering and dealing with seasonal people who appeared to be for me but turned out to not be so until recently I met the reflection of myself in a destiny friend that I never thought existed.

    I’m so glad you started a CZcams channel. I saw a video of you on instagram and I instantly love your Spanish Patois accent. Like for real I love it! 😄 And then to hear the back story of you being from Cuba

    Listening to your story maybe it’s been harder for you because you’ve always had one good friend at a time. Instead of it over lapping. Like if you had 3 go to friends and one left for whatever reason you still have 2 left and then a few years later you have a next good friend then one of the original 2 gets married and busy so it feel like 2 again ect.
    I’ve learned if you don’t have a handful of good friends before marriage and kids it will definitely be harder after. And a lot of woman that I see that have a good group of friends tend to come from a bigger family so when ever a friend comes and goes they have their siblings to fall back on (obviously this has to be a family that actually likes each other and gets along). But it is probably harder when you’re an only child to begin with and don’t have a lot of cousins too. Sigh there’s so many factors.
    But I think the pandemic really showed people who really aren’t their friends too! I’ve made a handful of friends through work in my adult life. I wouldn’t say best friend but we’re definitely catching up for lunch or invited to major life events and checking in on each other since we no longer work at the same place anymore. And you definitely can’t talk to your family the way you talk to a friend of no relation no matter how close you are it’s not the same. Sometimes if you’re lucky you could have a sibling that is your best friend.

I have that tendency to be entwine and loyal to that one person instead of 2 or 3 and four but now that I have three kids, I know that love can be shared equally, so it will be easier to have more than one friend.

    I was tired of people and disappointments. So far my children have been my hugest blessings and we are super close, so i dont have the bandwidth for friends.
    Plus, the jealousy alone is enough for me and that is the curse with me and people. Most friendships are codependent and are not genuine at all, plus I hate gossip and that's one of the things most females love to do. Males friends were my "go-to" for decades until i realized dem sneaky to and eventually get fresh wid yuh!
    So I take it for what it is, *MY JOURNEY*. I have a lot of things to do that most people cant relate to anyway, so im good.

    Very interesting video. Sometimes a person's upbringing and past experiences influence how they feel about friends. But friends should make you feel better, offer support, be there for you. Many friendships are toxic, cause more drama, or they are one-sided. One gives and the other only takes without giving. I have very few friends, but many hands stretched out for help all the time, so i get it. Love your videos. Mucho amor y buena suerte !

    Friendships can be seasonal, and only some people who come into your life are meant to stay. You must cherish the moments you share and accept that people will always disappoint you. Based on age and wisdom, you can access your interactions differently and see the red flags in people. You can either categorise them as a true friend or acquaintance. If you are making all the sacrifices in the friendship, you should know that the person is not your friend; she should be willing to support you just as much as you support her. You should not give up on friendships.

    I can relate totally, friendships are very hard to foster especially when you’re in your thirties!
 I also worked for your mother-in-law and husband before I migrated, we met in passing when your boys were very tiny but my experience was wonderful! New sub!

    I have friends as far back as from Primary school. My friends are in categories as I mature and had experiences that forces me to see them in ways I did not notice for years. I have lived in the Southern part of the USA where Jamaicans in the early days were far and few between. I have developed a support system of woman. None of them are perfect icluding me. So, I take the good and know how far I can go with trust.
