There's no way to resume communication with me if you're not going to address why there was a lapse in communication. I literally watch people avoid the elephant in the room at all costs. We are not going to get anywhere. Might as well not speak to me.
i enjoy high maintenance friendships idk. yes i wanna come w you to run a random errand, yes u can call me and send me 5 min voice notes, yes we can hang out for a week straight
40 hours per week in ANY job should warrant you a place to live, food on the table and the ability to enjoy your life within reasonable limits. What are we even saying anymore
