Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board / Re: Friendship Moments: good or bad
« Last post by Hopalong on April 20, 2026, 02:20:50 PM »How about a "Friendship Moment: Indifferent"?
Got an "update" email from Poet. News of a potential move (to daughter's new house) IF she/Poet decides to sell own house as planned etc. The rest all about her goal of being "relevant and recognized" in the local poetry community. A complaint about the weather in MI, and how she had a good visit with pal in the Smokies.
So I replied with stuff at same level: spring is great, I like new kitchen floor but rest is still a challenge and doing baby steps, poetry reading series is helping me write.
Not interesting any more. She said "I know we're not close but I want to stay in touch anyway" .... so I'm not sure I'm interested. I previously told her twice I wanted to wait for contact until July. Deaf ears, but my fault for responding. I think I regret the reflex.
No turmoil though. No upset. Not feeling much of anything, except to share it here.
hugs
Hops
