Comment on Cry

Being told this all through my 20s I was terrified of getting older and being super lonely.
What those people didn’t tell is that as you get older, your desires change. Like… it was fun hanging out with my friends playing games and chilling all day during school/university. I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything.
But these days I’d much rather spend time with my wife and son. And I suspect it’s the same for my old friends, which is why we only hang out once in 6 weeks.

Do all your old friends have family then?

Most of them. One of them is going on a cross-country road-trip vacation with his dogs, another quit his job and bought a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere to focus on gardening, another is finishing up her training to become an airline pilot (I should give her a call - haven’t hung out since we got our private pilot’s licenses together).
But the point being is that as people get older they have other things going on that keep them busy, even if they haven’t chosen to start a family.
