> The "Blinds" are described as a cult, and a permanent status that endures any level of neglect or separation. In reality, it's extremely common for your unconditional love BFF's to drift away as the relationship atrophies. It's called your 30's and 40's.

I agree with this sentiment. All relationships are “rational”, in the sense that there has to be some commonality between friends. For instance, a commonality I had and still have with my friend from college is talking about business/finance with. Even though the relationship has frayed due to geographic separation, the commonality still remains, making reconnecting a lot easier. On the other hand, a work colleague I used to hang out with daily, we don’t have any commonality anymore, even though geographically he lives close, like 10 mins away by highway.
