After marriage:
Learning to compromise begins. Responsibilities begin. Family and career becomes the priority - in that order. The distance from friends starts and slowly grows.
After childbirth:
Child becomes THE world. There's no “me time” at all. No time for friends. Often, no career.
When the child grows older:
The child is now busy with their own world—studies and friends. Family responsibilities are at their peak for us. It’s only at this stage that we begin to feel a void and slowly try to reconnect with lost friends. Luckily, we get back the contacts at some point. (Kids of this generation are lucky—they can never miss anybody's contacts!)
Then...
We make some time to talk to our evergreen friends frequently—to recall the past, laugh over the memories, chat about the present, the future, the silly things etc. We realise that only with friends, can we truly be our real selves.
We are sure we are never going to break these contacts again ever.
