@Badhombre My favorite interaction with this man is observing him explaining to the ticketing attendant at Dulles that he’s “a congressman” for a solid 10 minutes 🤣
Detachment isn't absence, it's restraint. You still care, still notice, still remember the dates and the details. But you silence the urge to reach out, hold back the words, let the distance stay. It’s not that you've stopped feeling, it's just that you've stopped acting on it.
