    I was at a mates kids birthday party over the weekend. Saw some old friends in a very different light. Walked away feeling a bit… i dunno, confused? I dont think they even are my mates any more. They were chatting away complaining and I’m sitting there thinking, 1 I cant relate, and 2, tbh I dont care! Like I wish I did, but I dont know you any more. You havnt asked how I’m doing, and now its all just… weird…

    these are people I saw almost every weekend in my 20s. and now its… odd.

      I’ve been in those situations before - people you used to hang with and now you’ve drifted so far apart that they’re… no longer friends but also not strangers? And yea, confused is definitely the vibe. A melancholic confusion - there’s something that’s lost, through no one’s real fault, but it’s nevertheless gone. What once was is no more.
