I wrote my last
post a lifetime ago. It was (and I was) really sad and I had
to step away for a while to decompress. And then, like a neglected friendship, the
time and distance set in. The longer I didn't post, the more
embarrassed I got that I hadn't called you, or emailed, or made a coffee
date. Then the more embarrassed I got, the more I dreaded running in to
you or making plans. And then there would have to be that awkward email
or call or blog post where I apologize for being a bad, busy,
preoccupied friend. I know it happens, and we all get busy, and you will
hopefully all forgive me, but it really has been too long. So, please
consider this my awkward phone call to you to tell you all how I miss you.
I'd like to call more, to write to you, and maybe even get coffee if
you're free. I'd also like to post a few things here and there and I
hope you like them.
