Do Tell: How Did Your Friendships Change Over Time?

DearSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

When you've known someone a long time, it's inevitable that you'll experience bumps along the road, but with some friends, those growing pains are more frequent. With age comes maturity and a greater sense of awareness, and sometimes the things that didn't affect us before become serious issues in our present relationships. Friendships can either grow stronger or farther apart over time, so if you've ever struggled with an old friendship, do tell, what changed over the years and what obstacles did you both have to overcome to make your friendship work?

What Was the Most Trivial Part of Your 20s?

DearSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:00:00 -0700

The ladies from Sex and the City were on Oprah yesterday and while their visit was mainly all about the movie, they touched upon some other hot topics as well, age being one of them. All the women, including Oprah herself, were in agreement when saying their 20s were overrated, in fact Kristen Davis went so far to say that she was "kind of unhappy" in her 20s and she didn't know who she was. As someone that's about to be 30 myself, (gasp!!) I'm intrigued to see what all the hype's about. I get that your 20s is a confusing time, a time of self-discovery and trial and error, but I've got to be honest, my 20s weren't all that bad! Of course, I had my fair share of ups and downs, but all in all, I can't complain. So to all you 30-plus women out there, what was the most trivial time in your 20s? Are you with the SATC's girls — were your 20s not all that great in comparison to where you are now?

Do Tell: What Growing Pains Do you Still Feel?

DearSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:00:00 -0800

When we enter new chapters in our lives, especially early adulthood, I think it's safe to say we all experience growing pains. The unknown can be incredibly intimidating and that trial-and-error period can leave you with many highs but many lows as well. Since none of us are getting any younger, do tell, what growing pains do you still feel?
