Like meeting up with that ONE friend
You know, the former friend from college or high school that you no longer have anything in common with, but who reaches out on Facebook once a year to suggest you “get coffee and catch up.” This usually coincides with some dramatic break up or epiphany she’s had from two weeks spent in a New Mexico sweat lodge. And you think, “How bad could coffee be?” You soon find out as the former friend blabs about her current UTI, chats about her upcoming gyno appointment, details the intricacies of her latest juice cleanse, including how many strawberries go into the juicer, and self-analyzes all the Tinder dates she shouldn’t have slept with but did anyways. This same friend believes her problems would be solved if people just got her intelligence, understood her uniqueness, surrendered to her self-awareness. And after 3 hours of rambling about herself, her cats, her therapist, the rotting milk she left out on the counter, the hole in her sock, the poetry she’s writing about the hole in her sock and the crystal healer she just started going to, she puts down her double macchiato and says, “So, how are YOU doing?”
