We Need to Talk About Age Gap Friendships
Loneliness chips away slowly, not like a crisis you can diagnose with an MRI. Making friends as adults feels impossibly hard because we don't realize childhood forced us together, creating friendships that seemed magical but were really just proximity. Age-gap friendships carry a weird taboo, like something's inherently wrong with befriending people outside your generation, yet these connections offer nutrients your soul desperately needs. I share a personal story about a 20-year-old waitress that meets a couple in their 60s who show her what kindness looks like through small acts.
