Have you ever felt guilty for not keeping in touch with a friend you deeply care about? You're not alone. Today, we unpack the emotional complexities of maintaining friendships in adulthood, where busy schedules and life's changes often get in the way. We dive into the concept of the "guilt bridge," sharing heartfelt personal stories, including a poignant moment of reconnecting with a long-time friend after seeing her engagement announcement on social media. We highlight the importance of vulnerability and honest communication, showing how these can help preserve meaningful connections, even when life pulls us in different directions.
