I face-timed my sister a couple times this week and she didn’t pick up — at least not right away. Later on, she called back. Busy she said. But it wasn’t that, she was avoiding me. Lol. I could tell.
We’d gotten into an argument. She’s a busy executive and I’m mostly retired. She’s caught up in the corporate life, budgets and managing people. Profits and Loss. Business as usual.
Almost entirely opposite, I spend my days watching the world unravel. I’ve been reading and writing about climate change and extinction events so much, it’s become part of who I am. And it’s bleeding into my relationships.
