When friends develop different relationships to a shared place over time

My best friend and I both moved to this city around the same time five years ago and we explored it together constantly, but lately we have totally different feelings about living here — she's put down roots and loves it, I feel restless and disconnected, and somehow this difference is making us feel distant from each other.
