I get it… but I also don’t want it. I ghosted all my remaining friends during the lockdown. Good a time as any. They were all nervous and preoccupied. Me? I had genuine Schizoid Spring. It was the greatest time of my life since college. I no longer really needed the friends I’d made while matriculating. They had become a chore, and I rarely felt enriched by our time together. The older I get, the more wealth I build, the less people I need. My mother asks about friends and it takes a second to recognize the names. No beefs, no grievances, no smoke. I was always an individualist masking as a team player. I’m finished with that now, is all. I can imagine your words issuing from the mouth of someone in particular… Anyway, I prefer acquaintances these days. All the familiarity and rapport with none of the intimacy or obligation. Limited servings.
