I class myself as a luck lad to have kept my school friends into my 40’s. We don’t see each other as often as we should but its like it was yesterday when we do.
All that growing up we did together cannot be ignored, they are a part of what made me the man I am today. I have made new friends since then, some through my clubbing years and now some through bikes. You can have both 🙂
Have you noticed though that no matter how old you get and no matter how much you have changed, when you get together you all slot into the roles you have had since childhood! 😯
OP, is that why you don’t like your old mates?
