Once your friends move to different cities, the map turns into a list of people you miss.

Geography is abstract until people you love are standing in it. Then a map stops being places and turns into a set of names, each a few hours away in a different direction. That is what being close to people eventually costs, and it is not a sign that anything went wrong.

Pick whichever friend you have gone longest without properly speaking to, and call instead of texting, even for fifteen minutes. Put the next one in your calendar before you hang up.
