I turned 37 and looked at my phone contacts and realized I had 247 numbers but couldn't name a single person I'd call if I got genuinely bad news - and that's when I understood that losing friends in your 30s isn't about distance, it's about finally admitting proximity was doing all the work - Silicon Canals
