Yes, you're right. Our "early adult" days do not last forever. Similarly, this current phase that you are in is also temporary; as will be the next, etc. That is, the past is ALWAYS going to be disappearing, and making way for the present. It seems that you are realizing this but are resisting what you do realize and know to be the facts -- more like not accepting than not realizing, maybe?
But. That's not to say that you haven't also been contributing to the ending of your long-time friendships. Yes, some will be busy establishing their careers, raising their families or going through their divorces but if they're ALL pretty much just going AWOL on you, then you're the common denominator and may need to get down, dirty and deeply honest with yourself about your own attitudes, expectations and behaviours that may be leading to your experiences.
