Psychology Today | 14.08.2026 03:23
No matter what life stage you are in, it is worth considering the well-being of your friendships. In my own case, I have lived in eight different U.S. states and moved across country several times, including as I retired. Most people regard friends as part of our convoy of life, much like long-haul truckers or ships that travel together. Some members of our life convoy are there for the length of our lifespan, others join in periodically, and others may exit.
