'I think people, with friendship, it's like they want the tree but they don't want to actually plant the seed and that's not how it works.'
Weatherly told "Good Morning America" she's alway been "fascinated" by the concept of friendships and has noticed over time how she's had to shift her approach to them, inspiring her to write the post about five years ago. "I think it's this beautiful, wonderful gift that we've been given as humans and I've seen through the years how we just kind of struggled with it, especially as we've gotten older," she said.
According to author Amy Weatherly, friendship in your 30s and 40s might mean catching up with friends at kids’ sports games and activities."It was honestly just a quick list of things that I put together, probably while I was sitting at one of my son's baseball games, realizing how much I enjoyed that time," Weatherly said. "Because yes, I love watching my son play baseball. But that is the only time that I had to connect with other women my age.
Another one of Weatherly's favorite observations is: "Now it looks like showing up in your rattiest sweatpants and not even flinching because you know they won't judge you." There's also the super relatable: "Now it looks like 'Was that really 5 years ago? Seems like yesterday.'"ABC News Photo Illustration: Alex Gilbeaux
