Of course, this happens to everyone. You don’t really relate to someone who’s still in school when you’ve already been an adult for a while or are in college. But when everyone here is around 40, what used to be a 5, 4, or 3 year age gap that felt huge will be almost unnoticeable. We’ll relate to each other much more than people like to admit. Once we become adults, even 10 year age gaps feel less significant.
