I call out what I can when I can. (Would not have been able to do it at the beginning of that week, but by the end, I was in a place (mentally) where I could. And I know other people were thinking the same thing but couldn't say it. I feel ... not obligated, exactly, but like I should do what I can for those who can't or didn't. Violence against one is violence against all and whatnot.)
Yes, my oldest friends are all still friends only because they accept that we'll have years when we barely talk, but when we both have the time and energy at the same time, it's like we were just talking yesterday. Which is easier to do with some than with others, too. There are people I'd love to have back, but I'm just not brave enough to bring it up myself. I like friends. .... um, because that's an uncommon way to feel, what? *headdesk*
I am glad for your words about this poem. I try to do exactly that! I don't always, but I try. ♥
