When longtime friends struggle with evolving definitions of belonging

Our friend group has been together since college and we always said we'd be family forever, but now that we're in our thirties some of us are married with kids and others are single and it feels like we're all performing belonging rather than actually experiencing it. We keep having the same conversations about staying connected but nobody wants to admit that maybe belonging means different things to different people now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is confronting the reality that their shared understanding of belonging may have been an illusion that no longer serves their changing lives.
