Left page: Why am I disentangling some of from my friends? Because with some of your friends, there is simply not a lot of common ground anymore. And so what now? Does a person drift away? Walk away? Have a courageous conversation?
Right page: Honor the bond say thank you, and move on? what? Putting it all on the table at this stage seems silly in some ways. We are who we are. Or are we? Are we capable of adaptation now yet? Yes, we must be. - Rights
