Crack

What could you do differently?

I opened a big crack in my life. I made it all by myself. It exists because I am lazy with my friendships. My people need stronger, more frequent, more concrete communication.

I care, but I have been so wrapped up in my personal healing that I haven’t taken the time and effort to reach out. My true friends deserve more. I can’t spackle the crack with a text.

I have lost some important contacts and deep connections because I didn’t do my part. I didn’t  maintain closeness or offer the kind of support my friends really needed. The fault, the big, gaping, obvious crack is mine to fix.

I need to write some honest letters. I need to visit to sit for coffee to let my friends tell me whatever they want to say. I need to make phone calls. I need to ask questions and to really listen to their answers. Then, I need to follow up. I can’t say I will see or call them and forget. If I want to fix the crack for good, I have to act like a friend worth having.
