Is there someone you were close to at one point in time, that you can no longer stand to be around?\u00a0(From 2020\u2026)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My response back then was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. Her. Him. Her. No ill-will towards him. Well, I still talk to her sometimes. Him, too.\u00a0*shrug*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know, I think some of those was the people who had joined the Branch Covidians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, no, I haven’t changed much of any of those takes. At the same time, I really can’t remember exactly who I was thinking about in any of those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know, really, however, whether I can really hold many grudges at this point. I just don’t have the energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was listening to Finding Freedom<\/a> this morning, and the interviewee was talking about being involved with UNICOR<\/a>. (I’ll spare you searching the fine web; Wiki<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I don’t know that there’s anyone to whom I’m really refusing to speak. Even in the hellscape that are many social media platforms, I rarely just cut off people I don’t know. Maybe that’s top of mind after a few weird blocks on Twitter; who knoes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I guess that sometimes there’s rash reactions that aren’t forever-justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I referenced what I wrote years ago, “You Can Leave.” Still very much in that mindset. And if you circle back, be at least civil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But very few of the connections broken I’m missing. I think that might be a part of my upbringing. Listening to a few programs leading up to Thanksgiving, I was hearing people talk about Thanksgivings with difficult family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I can count on one hand the number of times we traveled to see family for Thanksgiving. There were a couple of times we went to see my parents’ friends, but it was really not something where we’d head away for the holiday. Drunk Uncle<\/a> has no relevance to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe that’s not really surprising; I think I only saw my dad drunk once, and that was him with my godfather around my brother’s wedding. They polished off a bottle of gin, but weren’t upset\/mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple more days; I have to go do work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
