Your growing ambition makes you a mismatch with a mellow friend. If you two have plans, you need to work harder to adjust to their way of thinking if you want to have a good time. You can’t talk about your career or other aspirations and expect them to be interested. Their influence in your life is good, so you should welcome the chance to talk about deeper ideas and more spiritual concepts. You’re lucky to have such a diverse group of friends in your life. Embrace it.

Interacting with people who share your values puts your heart in the right place, so find an artistic, political or other type of venue, online or off, where you feel both at home and engaged.

Irony comes in handy, but not necessarily during relationship discussions. In this case, you might do better with diplomacy, sincerity, and kindness. And jettison the stubbornness too!

Freedom is so close you can touch it. No, not financial freedom, just the type that comes with the weekend. Hang in there for one more day to maximize tomorrow’s potential.
