Like...I understand state & fed governments want us to pretend things aren’t as bad as they are, but people really are depressed, anxious, traumatized, etc out here. Some ppl are relapsing.

Yes, even ppl you know. Many ppl aren’t even aware of how much they are affected.

Give ppl grace. Even if they seem happy. It could all be a front that they are barely keeping together.

You literally do not know. Even if you live with them. You don’t know what’s in people’s heads.

That all said: Just disappearing out of someone’s life (when you know good & goddamned well they were part of your life and you were in theirs) damages the connection and you can’t just walk in and out of someone’s life *like that* meaning without their consent
