The Truth About Losing Friends as You Get Older—And Why I’m Happy About It

1 Like

If you’re not losing friends, you’re not growing. You’re not even losing them, you’re just out-growing them.

If you start going to the gym, running, getting into triathlons, for example, you’ll have to ditch your alcohol and chill friends on the weekends. You don’t hate them, but you out-grow them.

If you go into entrepreneurship, you have to ditch your wage slave friends. Who wants their hustle belittled by a bunch of office nut jobs? “Hako ka biashara kako aje?”, “Very soon utarudi ofisi tu kama sisi”. Hehe, this is how the world works.

Out-growing old friends is the first sign that you’re doing well as a man. Nothing new to see here.

I had a few rough years in shags and they thought I forgot about programming or something. Sometimes people need to realise there’s more to life than smoking and drinking all day.
