One Would Think I Would

I do not speak with old friends very often. Perhaps it is because I am still shell-shocked. Perhaps it is because my life never returned to what I knew back then as “normal.”

I still care for them all, deeply. It is just that I am trying to build a new paradigm for myself, and there is a lot I am having to keep pushing at to make way for me.

Additionally, I am stretching farther beyond any efforts that I have already achieved to reach for important future endeavors. This takes a lot of focus and inner dialogue inside a place of deep listening where I must not be distracted.
