I need new freinds

There is nothing wrong with the friends I have and I love them and will continue to hangout with them and remain friends with them. Then why do I need new ones? The problem is I want friends who share in the same lifestyle I do/am working towards. With the recent measles outbreak and vaccine debate starting up it has made me realize how alone I am in the current circle of people around me and I know that if/when Kevin and I decide to start a family I will be even more alone. In case you need me to say, yes I am against vaccinations. I'm not saying I think everyone should stop using them but I do think people should be given the choice. If you choose to use them great. If you choose not to use them that's great too. In my opinion there are too many risks for something that might work. My parents had me vaccinated as a child so I had the MMR vaccine and a few years ago I was tested for immunity and showed zero immunity even though I was vaccinated. Everytime I get on facebook or online there is a new post on how horrible people who choose not to vaccinate are and how they are trying to hurt the kids in school and so on and so on. It infuriates me everytime! If you vaccinated and your vaccines are so great why are you so worried about the very few kids who aren't? There are doctors who are now saying if you don't vaccinate according to their schedule they will report you to cps and kick you out of their practice. It upsets me that all of a sudden there are so many people who are pushing for vaccines to be mandatory because I wouldn't tell you how to run your family so why do you want to tell me how to run mine. This is the reason I need friends who share the same ideas as me. I am sure there will be times when people disagree with our lifestyle and I will be upset and frustrated and need to sit on someone's couch and vent and it would be really helpful if the owner of the couch wasn't judging and agreed with me. I think I'm going to have to start hanging out more at the yoga studio and the farmers markets or something because I don't know where else to meet people who think like I do.
