This is so true for real. When I was in my 20s it’s true, I had ramen almost every day, but I also had a constant friend group I was always around. I never went to college but I was close with highschool friends for years, until mid to late 20s. Then it just… Stopped.
The crazy thing is, when i was in my 20s, it was a common joke on the internet that people in their 30s or earlier don’t have friends. I always thought that is some post rafe comic le funny meme. I had so many friends that i saw daily. I had too many friend groups, too much things to do with them. At the end of my 20s it suddenly stopped. It wasn’t that one friend after the other had a change in lifestyle or whatever, but now getting 4 friends together at the same time, seems utopian. One of my friends got married and like 6 of us met to have a good time together. Everyone was like: why don’t we do that more often? We should do that again. That was over 2 years ago and we in fact did not do that again.
