How did you meet your closest friends?

I am friendless besides my man lol😭😭 I had one best friend like a sister to me for 10 years but unfortunately she started hanging out with the wrong crowd & dating a man who was just 🗑️ and I was constantly put in awful / uncomfortable situations so we fizzled out. I was in a toxic relationship before that and had my first child so I never really had time to truly meet people and get out and do things with. I work independently, so I don’t meet any coworkers. I’m not in college, etc. so I’m lost on how to find and make close friends if I’m always with my children and mom life lol. Where do you meet people !?
