When you get older, your life naturally splits into separate social compartments. You have your family compartment and your work compartment. Your friends are segmented into separate categories: old friends, college friends, and forgot-how-we-became-friends friends. That sort of thing. 

Most of us keep all of these social silos in separate group text chats. That’s the only way to keep all the elements of your life from mixing together and causing mischief or mortification.
