I feel your words. And even as a grown-up thritysomething it hasn't changed. Especially as a student I had a few nice and close friends, but as soon as we graduated we kind of lost contact. I feel sad when I think about all the times I tried to get in touch with friends, and they didn't respond, or only weeks and weeks later, or they said they were too busy.
I understand we all have a life, our daily businesses etc. But personally I think it's important too, to be in contact with more people then your partner or kids (at my age almost every friends has kids... and most of the time it doesn't make them more social or good friends).
But... at the same time, I do have a very few friends I talk with very reguarly. And as mentioned below: it's good to remind those people. It is no longer obvious to be in touch with people if you don't see them every day :(
Thank you for this. I strongly believe that all of us need to be a part of some community that uplifts us and helps us grow. Friendships are such beautiful examples of these communities. It's truly sad how time ends up creating this gap between friends that we can't seem to close sometimes. But the love always stays, as it should❤️
PS:- Welcome to this little community of Unwind. Hope you love reading my newsletters as much as I love writing them.✨
Lovely post as always. I sometimes become upset when I think about how “busy” many of my friends and family members are, and it can be disappointing, but key is letting go and rekindling with the people who do make the time
