The casseroles stopped and so did the messages. I think people assume that after a few months you're back to normal. I'm not angry, just very tired of being the one who reaches out.

This is the loneliest stage and hardly anyone talks about it.

I told two friends plainly: I need you to text me on Sundays. Both did. People want a job, they just don't know what it is.

Some friends simply cannot sit with it. I stopped taking it personally, and kept the ones who could.

Sending you something today so your phone lights up for a good reason.
