make the drive - the ride - make the time
to reconnect in person, face to face.
I'm grateful when this happens, getting the chance to see someone again after a while. I should make more of an effort but time and communication kind of get in the way.
Bike racing? Yeah, admittedly one of the best things about going to race bikes is seeing friends. This is a social circle of people I, for some reason, only ever see at bike races. Probably in large part because I'm too much and no one is actually a friend but they know me and will tolerate me around a CX race course for a few hours a couple times a year.
I have to be careful, projecting how I feel and what seems to be the reality with other's perceptions is a fine line. The reality is, if I needed someone to come let the dog out while we're gone for a long day, I have basically just my brother to call. No one else really. And that feels pretty isolating.
But to the point of the link at the top of this, driving a long way to do see people and or do something, is always worth it. Esp when those people mean something to you.
Life is short - our time is limited and if you're lucky you'll be burdened with the guilt of remembering the last time you saw someone.
