Love this conversation—I've definitely felt these feelings about outgrowing some of my high school/college friendships. Sometimes I'll see a wedding photo or a hometown get-together and feel a little bummed that so many of them have stayed very connected over the years while I've more or less lost touch.
But I also recognize that my current friendships that I made in my late 20s/early 30s are so much more intentional, valuable, and fulfilling. We're all bursting at the seams with commitments, relationships, thoughts, and stressors... so I think it's a sign of growth/maturity to learn to make space only for who/what fulfills you in life!
I appreciate you talking about this. It’s a topic not often discussed. I’ve been bringing more intentionality to my friendship time and letting many fade with kindness. There’s a lot of nuance to it and it’s not always easy but it’s so worth it for the openings it creates.
I love Mary Oliver’s “what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.”
