I'm depressed about the state of my interpersonal relationships, mainly because I know I won't be able to do anything about it, until after I finish this damned thesis.
I can't spend a lot of time with you, if you don't live with me.
I can't talk to you online, a lot, because I'm reading, writing, or putting my head in order.
I can't engage you and rebuild our friendship, right now...
Because all of that takes time away from my thesis, and my goal of finishing graduate school this semester.
I hope you understand, and can be patient.

It's cliche because it's true...
Date: 2007-10-19 12:55 am (UTC)I have a few (stupendously precious) peeps with whom I can part for a year or more and still at any point pick up the phone to continue a conversation we were having back in the day. We all have this understanding, that our relationships are really no shit for life. No hard feelings if we don't talk for awhile, some of us have ridiculously complicated lives and not being part of someone's day to day is not as important as it used to seem now that some of us have families and other time consuming enterprises. The stories we get when we get down to: "So what have YOU been up to?" are always a treat.

That said, be well, fight for glory and honor.
Come back to us, but not until you're ready.
