Part 2 of 10 of the new series "Friendship in a throwaway culture". This post explores the quiet erosion of friendship in adulthood and the surprising ways it can return. After regularly crossing paths with an old friend at the gym, the author experiences renewed connection through consistent, ordinary contact-highlighting the role of proximity, routine, and intentional effort. The piece challenges the normalisation of ghosting and disposability, arguing that many friendships don’t need replacing; they need attention and follow-through.
