Nothing gives you clarity like seeing how people *don't* show up when something goes wrong.
The uncle who sends multiple 20-min VMs about his life? Radio silent after my last reply, in which I mentioned my job loss.
Ditto with a friend who expressly asked me to tell him how last week's meeting went. Silence since Thurs.
And a fellow who always sends me a long Sunday email couldn't be bothered to put in a word responding to my news.
Sometimes I just serve as a sounding board. 🙃 Call me ELIZA.
@MLClark that sucks. Seriously. So many hugs. I'm...kinda getting that from some folx lately. Yeah, I've been in a mood of late, but they've had moods, too.
Anyway. Hugs.
Been a rough road for a bit, eh? I've seen you working through a lot of emotions bigger than words can sometimes express.
I'm really thankful you're still trying to navigate them as best you can. May it all get easier for us both, and many others in these rough times, sometime soon. 💙
@MLClark thanks for the good thoughts.
Realizing you've missed the boat on achieving your dreams is really hard. Especially since I can see the time running out on me. Nonetheless, it's time to come to terms with myself, and realize that it's time to put aside great ambitions. Takes time to do that, though.
