Me: Here, have my number...0725
The other person: aha, wait 0725
Me: Aha

I had lost concentration. Now I was responding like I was the one being given contacts. My concentration had left without my consent. It happens...
At some point in our lives, we happen loose our attentiveness whether intentionally or not. I remember how my CRE teacher had me attend that lesson on my knees. Her sight or the lesson simply had my attention hop out of the window faster than lightening.
I also recall this friend who invited me to a wedding committee days after my shop had been ransacked sometime back. I did not attend. I did not tell him why.
See, sometimes, you are dealing with issues but the smile on your face betrays you. People expect 'A*' from you, while you cannot even offer an 'a'. If you are a reserved about your personal life, you may not share a lot. And they might not understand, anyway.
It's like when people think you are associated with some rich human, they don't expect you to be broke 😁😁. While in the real sense, the exact opposite could actually be true. Unazionanga zikipitapita tu.
What you may call sharing, many times results to misunderstandings. You will be misquoted for all you say or don't say. Do I need to mention how your-supposed-to-be friends can turn everything around once you fall apart. By the way, wounded ex-friends (or those who imagine you hurt them) can be very dangerous.
Sometimes you just got to fix your sh*t. If you must talk about it, talk to your maker. Or at least, make that a beginning point.
Life has given me a fair share of challenges, some on such a high frequency. And yet, this image (whose rights I don't own), is symbolic of my interactions. I have learnt that humans can only be interacted with, with tonnes of salt.
By the way, did I tell you that even on my knees, I still used to doze off during that CRE lesson? Okay, bye!
Till my next long post...
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
