Because we talk about everything. And there's... There's just... There are things that you don't know affect you until you talk about it. It could be nothing. It could be talking about a TV show episode that then leads to like, oh, this happened to me and this is how I was affected by it. And there's just... And nothing is off limits and that's the beauty of it is just...

You get to explore everything freely with no judgment. And that's also the devastation of, oh, I don't have this safe space anymore. You are the safe space. And I didn't even see that it was a malicious space. Which, you know, getting back to this letter, it's like this woman seemed like she was pouring her heart out to this woman. to Eva. And it was like hit or miss. I'm not even sure.

I don't even know if I like you, girl. Oh, I guess I do like you, but it's too late. And so I think that that's, that's also a violation of just like, am I in your life or not? Do you like me or not? Are we, are we good or not? And now someone, something happened that's tragic. And I, I think

You're one of the last people I heard from, so maybe I need to be real about what this friendship actually was.

I have to say that I'm also guilty, because part of this also triggered me in a way, because I am guilty of... Again, like you said, I am not a check-in-everyday type of person. I'm a very much... When I'm here, it's all about you, but I don't check in as often as I should with friends. And...

I've been told that in the past and I've adjusted, but you just have to tell me, but it's not a natural instinct. And so with this, I understand like Eva being like, this is kind of a high maintenance friendship in a way where I can't, I'm not going to be the same type of giving friend that you are to me, but I will show up in the ways that I can. If you need me, I will always be there.

And so that is... That would make me consider like, oh, am I a bad friend? Because I think about you, but I might not text you to be like, hey, I just want to make sure you're okay. But you should know that I would hope you would call me if you weren't okay and know that I would show up for you and be there for you. I'm not considerate.

I'm not a considerate friend in the way that I would like to be. That's a pronouncement there. It's true. It's like one of my biggest flaws because I'm just so work focused that I'm not like, I'll think about you, but not tell you that I'm thinking about you. Right. And that's fair.
