If your communication frequency decreased without warning—after a skirmish or life got busy or you are polar opposites 💉✝️♥️—you may intentionally be “ghosting” them.

They are likely not sitting around, waiting for your next note, but… what if they are?

Just worked with three unrelated people who are at the end of their wits because it hadn’t occurred to them that some people work two jobs, or just got married, or started a business, that some peeps have IBS or migraines, others only hop online for a few minutes per day—or what they, themselves, said to others (or, again, posted) May have “triggered” a chum or two.

They weren’t being clingy, but rather “sorry, I thought we were having an asynchronous convo. No harm done, have a nice life, mate!”

(This is different than blocking, which sometimes a person will do if you answer their questions honestly.

“Is this a good idea, Sally?”

“Well… only if you want to change your life after making this same decision 20 times in four years and wanting kevorkian after every single time. Aka I would NOt do this, beloved one!”

“Hmm. You’re mean! Tho I know you’re right. But still! I wanna do this anyway!”

And they block you.

And you mourn. Not their rejection, tho that hurts, as well.

Rather, you mourn a friendship that may have spanned years or decades… and you mourn the damage that they’re doing to themselves. And if they end up “in a bad situation,” you are worried for them. You’d do anything to help them!

(But most of all, you just miss them, sometimes.)

Join me in praying for all the people you’ve hurt in your life.

And all the people I’ve hurt in mine.

On purpose or not. In order to forget pain or because we aren’t willing to hurt God by forgetting our morals.

I ask forgiveness if ever I’ve missed a communication from you. (And please know I’ve never blocked anyone, including JJ, except for this one guy that sent me a case of bullets way back in the day.)

Much love to you, my friend…
