Deliberate Epiphany

Another thing we need to do as we get older? 

Make conscious efforts to be good friends (operative word is good). When we were younger it was so easy to be friends with people. You laughed, you loved, you shared similar struggles and bonded from it. But in your late 20's/30's (and I'm sure beyond but I ain't there yet so...), people's main focuses change. So the bonds you had over stressing over finals isn't gonna help when one is worried about their child's tuition and the other is worried about what outfit you're gonna wear to their birthday. We become so busy that daily 4 hour FaceTime convos turn into texts every other month to just "check in". It's hard to navigate the growing pains of evolving friendships.
