Remember when friendship just… happened?

This week, we’re getting weirdly personal about the friendship gap — that strange, silent drift that happens as life scatters us into different jobs, cities, and stages. Suddenly, maintaining friendships feels like a full-time job.

From friendship “breakups” that still sting years later to the awkward reality of trying to make new friends as a grown adult, we’re diving into why staying close feels harder than ever — and what we can actually do about it.

We’ll unpack:

💬 Why friendship peaks at 25 (and what happens after)

🌿 The emotional cost of connection and why “inconvenience is the price of community”

🧩 How to repair old friendships, and make new ones that actually last

💞 Why your friends might just be the greatest loves of your life

If your WhatsApp feels quieter these days, or you’ve ever wondered “is it just me?” - this one’s for you.
