When friend groups outgrow a meaningful place but can't let go

My college friends and I try to meet up once a year in our old college town, but it keeps getting more depressing because the place has changed so much and we have less and less connection to it — yet no one wants to suggest meeting somewhere else because this tradition feels sacred, even though it's not actually bringing us joy anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Nostalgia and tradition are keeping you tethered to a place that no longer serves your friendship, creating obligation where there used to be joy.
