'I'm not saying I think your life is like Sex and the City'

I talked to my friend about how as our lives diverge, it can feel like you’ve lost your compass.

Molly Pierce and I have known each other for twenty-five years. We grew up streets apart and used to walk home from the school bus together. When we got to the point in the road where we were to go our separate ways, we’d often stop on the wall and keep talking to each other, even though we were going to see each other on the bus again the next morning.
