Maintaining friendships as an adult is often easier said than done. From conflicting schedules to distance, both of the physical and figurative nature, it's no surprise that our friendships change and develop as we get older. You may go from seeing your friend practically every single day at school, university, or work, to slowly drifting apart. However, it is only natural that we grow as we go through life and this applies to your friends, too.
In the past, I have completely severed friendships when our lives have no longer aligned, but Alderton makes a case for adapting to the changing dynamic rather than totally ending a friendship. "History alone can't hold a friendship together, but it does become something you value more and more as you get older," writes Alderton.
