You're listening to the Journal Party podcast where every week , we get together for the ultimate journal jam session . We journal through life together as a community . My name is Alex Gallner and I'll be your host . So here's how it works . I'll give you a journal prompt in a groove and you just start writing . After a few minutes , you'll hear a little bell that sounds like this and we'll move on to the next prompt . After a couple minutes , you'll hear that bell again and we'll move on to the next prompt , and we'll just keep going on like that till we're finished . Feel free to write on whatever you like , or even just follow along in your car . If you finished before the bell , you can try to dig deeper and elaborate , or just chill out and enjoy the tunes . Don't overthink it . There's no wrong way to do this . So welcome to the party . Journal Party . What's up party people , what's up friends ? Welcome back to the Journal Party Podcast .

I'm Alex Gallner and today we're going to be journeying through the heartwarming and sometimes intricate world of friendships . From childhood playmates to college buddies , from work colleagues to neighbors , friendships are the threads that weave the tapestry of our lives . These bonds evolve , shift and sometimes stand the test of time offering us comfort , joy and invaluable life lessons . That's why today , we're going to be going through five journal prompts to reflect on the evolution of our friendships , the challenges and joys they bring , and the beauty of connections that grow and mature with us . Grab your journal , because here comes prompt number one . Think back to a friendship that has spanned several years or even decades . How did it begin and how has it evolved over time ? Promp number two Every friendship faces its set of challenges .
