As friendships get a little older, you have to put more work into keeping them. Time and money and other commitments create so many constraints, it’s easy to go entire months without touching base with your favorite people.
When you do, it’s easy for the catch-up session to consist entirely of reliving old memories. And there’s nothing wrong with that! But I also want to keep forming new memories.
That’s why I’ve been loving being able to take more friend trips in recent years.Being in a new environment helps to set the stage for new memories to take form.
