How do you keep friendships strong as you get older?

[SwehRose]

When I was younger, friendships felt effortless — we’d hang out after school or college, and there was always time. Now, with work, family, and responsibilities, I feel like months go by without seeing some of my closest friends. We text occasionally, but it’s not the same as spending time together. I sometimes worry we’re drifting apart, and I don’t want that to happen. How do you guys maintain friendships when life gets so busy?
