My bestie from nursery school found me on FB.
We swap comments, but really she stayed and became what was expected of girls then.
I fled to anywhere else.
Weirdly, we both work with similar populations.
I have friends a who can go silent for months, years and a conversation is just like yesterday, but I’m open to momentary mental intimacy, and I don’t try to hold on.
Most disturbing was my GF from the 80s...she suddenly reached out, was coming through and wanted to get coffee.
I said yes, found a coffee shop near a park (this was mask mandate time, and in CO, outdoors was mask optional).
It was horrible. She’d converted to some weird church, and as her conversion therapy had to come tell me I was going to hell, but some dude named Jesus loved me.
Oh, and I needed to support our supreme leader, I mean the Orange Menace.
yeahhhhhhhh...NO
For the record, I’m Jewish, lefty liberal (although I think centrists get more done), hetero romantic, demisexual.
