Midtwenties and it feels over in a lot of ways. The majority of friends I’ve made growing up or in college are gone. People have spread out and started focusing on their own lives. Even people that I only ever knew online have began moving on.
In a lot of ways this has been fine because I’ve just turned inward and started focusing on myself too, started being selfish about what I want. I miss seeing a lot of my friends in person rather than random texts or seeing their stories on snap.
It’s very confusing at times because I enjoy being able to do whatever I want when I want without consulting anyone but I also miss having people to do things with.
Let people go. You cant hold onto them forever, even in the best of cases. I have people who i consider my best friends that I haven’t seen in years. Maybe never again.
The river of life has many branches, we just floated down different ones. Dont take it personally.

I’ve let go of them but the issue is finding new people to replace them.
Accept lamer people like work colleagues and such.
This^ And that’s the beauty of the 30s because I think that’s about when you likely start to realize and understand this. It’s freeing.
Something I really cherish is a scheduled phone call with two of my college buddies, themed on a movie or TV show we agree to watch that week.
One of us just abruptly made a group chat and asked if we’d be down, and we’ve been doing it for years now, I highly reccomend!
