      I think you should be fine with a 6 cups, but if you feel ambitious you can try the 12 or 18 cups! - keep in mind it refers to “espresso” cups

    So happy to see you back on YT. This topic is so near to my heart. I agree with you 100 % and I feel very sad that my handful of friends are just drifting away. I am always the one to reach out, make the call, pop in etc. I am in my 60s and realise that we are busy with grandkids etc but it's no excuse to not share a small window period with your friend/s. After all, we are there for the good times as well as the bad times. Ooh, I can write a book on this matter.

    When I saw your title 'Are Authentic Friendships A Thing Of The Past?' several thoughts ran through my mind: I hope not! Good question! And then NO! No, they aren't a thing of the past because there ARE people of heart in the world. I want to believe that, therefore, I do believe it. You are one of these people, Annalisa. I think the truer we are to ourselves and the kinder we are to ourselves, we are more open to the authentic energy that can manifest the same. But I know what you mean, girl! It can feel pretty bleak out there!! 🎪🎡🎢 🎯🎶💃👩‍❤️‍👩🫶💞

      I agree, and it’s nice to see this outlook. Sometimes I have to be reminded of it ❤️🥰

    This subject was so beautifully expressed. One that I think of often. I once asked a friend who'd moved here to Southern California from Florida, what are some of the differences. The first thing he said was "Here, you're not really sure who your friends are. In Florida, you know who they are." So there may be something to the thought of geograghical mind-sets . I lived in Florida for 3+ yrs and found that when people asked you how you were, they really wanted to know! I felt there was something to be said about Southern Hospitality being alive and well at the time. Yet, today in the world, it's different. Social media and cell phones are a huge culprit. Many don't seem to want to listen or share thoughts, experiences, perspectives if they don't agree. I find that outlook too confining to deal with! As I seem to draw people towards me that want to be friends, I've reached an interesting conclusion. I have always observed that 'a friend to all is a friend to none' and don't get involved with that whole scenario. I also count on my intuition and gut who to become involved with. Is this foolproof? No! But it's a valuable sifter, so to speak. I do value the memories I have of everyone I've known through work or in passing or whichever channels may have been instrumental in our paths crossing. After all, this is my life! I think, Annalisa, that there's a purpose for all of this. And that some are meant to be lifelong, or intense, or temporary or whatever the case may be. It's just up to us to realize our own worth and while sharing the wealth that we are, being wise enough to actually SEE how the other person is. Not how we'd like them to be. I, and still do, admit to becoming disappointed and let down when I realize that the other 'friend' isn't as sincere and truly wishing me well and being the sincere loyal friend I know I am. So I think of 'don't cast your pearls before swine' and move on. Lately I've felt a lack of female friendship and miss it terribly. Yet, I try to stay open and it is true. Solitude is seductive. I prefer it most of the time. But I do reach a point where I'm ready for Girls just wanna have fun! When we marry or have a significant other it usually takes up our time along with daily existence. I still think it's important to have meaningful female interaction and friendship s. I wake up with a "I love life and life loves me" attitude. Yet honestly i look around and see so much division amonst women and it makes me sad. I've known some very impressive women that made a huge impact on me. Are they still around? Yes. In my heart. In my life's expression. They are a part of me. And maybe that's the type of friendship there is for me. As usual, Annalisa, you are thought-provoking and get me going! I think of you often and even though I miss your more frequent vids, I always smile and am happy you are busy living your life. Isn't that what we're here for?!! I now know that people are better for knowing me. And now I ask would they do the same for me. This isn't tit for tat. It's valuing my time. The people that are keeping things real and are sincere will show up. Period. I see you putting a lot of sincerity and love out there. You're just weeding your garden so there's room for fragrant, beautiful blooms that will last you a lifetime even if only in your memory, in your heart. You are a glowing, beautiful, vibrant soul! Just being who you are is a blessing to our world❤🙏💝🌟🎯
