A whole lot of the same folks that were in a rush to get themselves shots seem to be hesitant as hell to get their kids shots. And the baseline seems to be a mix of “it’s not that bad” and/or “kids don’t get that sick anyways.”
I cant call it. Between climate change, mass shootings, a social safety net, and a pandemic we don’t seem to be doing the second part of surviving any crises which is reinforcing and securing a recurrence in the future.

I am typically the person who is the first to check on their friends. Sometimes I get a reply, then nothing ... sometimes an actual convo comes of it ... sometimes I get nothing, then a reply weeks later like "sorry, I _____."
I am also typically the person who will make myself available for friends when they want to catch up or will go out of my way to help them with something, and idk if I've just had bad boundaries and/or never noticed, but these gestures are often not reciprocated and I'm at the point where I'm fed up giving out all this extra energy.
I'm not sure what to do with it because, naturally I HAVE the energy and want friendships where there is a least somewhat of an even energy exchange, but it also feels a little disingenuous and/or petty to just match energy.
