Do we ever take inventory?
Take time
To recalibrate
Does this make sense?
This pattern and routine we follow daily?
Or…..
Is it time to shift?
Downsize
Rightsize
Shift that sail to point in a new direction
And perhaps throw a few things no longer needed overboard
Recalibrate where we are headed to
For 3 months now
Texts
Phone calls
Conversations
She enjoyed that
A nice break from….work.
She peeks her head up from her computer and sighs
It ‘was’ a nice break
His messages always made her day a little lighter
Her work a little brighter
Life. A little more tolerable.
He mentioned distance last night.
They would be 2 hours apart after their moves….
It was in the back of his mind.
But they should still meet, you know….friends.
The computer screen. Just go back to the computer screen….she reminds herself of this
She doesn’t need or want another ‘friend’
For 8 years now, she’s collected those.
So she buries her head and types away on a work doc
He’ll fade away.
She’ll text….just less than before
Eventually.
This will all be just a memory of another ‘friend’ she never met.
Like so many others
