Was reminiscing in another thread about the time my high school friend group, which survived a couple of years post-high school, finally disintegrated ignominiously.

I honestly don't think anything has affected me so deeply. That bond we shared, growing up together, getting in to trouble, helping one another out, doing crazy shit out of boredom, knowing you all had each other's back. Just being there. I miss it so much.
I feel like a refugee, cast out of Eden.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Have you been through this shit too?

Those early friendships feel like they are whole, that they are based on life. And while I have made new friends since they all feel particular, based on aspects of life, like work or a hobby, lacking that holistic feeling of those earlier friendships which were rooted in a place prior to any particular thing.
