@EllyOnTheGo That last sentence might be *exactly* how they're feeling too. So maybe do the reaching out.
Maybe something like
"Hey! Sorry I haven't been in touch lately.
I should be better at reaching out but the truth is I'm tired. I bet you feel like that too, sometimes. Anyway, how are you?"
@EllyOnTheGo Yes. It is.
@stueytheround I have, sometimes I won't even get a message back even though I know they're on social media. Like I get it, people have things going on, the world definitely doesn't revolve around me. It's just disheartening
