When longtime friends grow apart but can't address the distance

Three of us have been best friends since college and we're all at completely different life stages now - one married with kids, one traveling the world, me stuck in a job I hate - and when we get together we can't seem to find our way back to the people we used to be with each other. We're all performing these adult versions of ourselves and I miss who we were when we could just be real.
