If you were ‘connected’ via instagram, you were not connected. You were pretending.
Comment on Why Does Everyone Seem Ahead of Me? ???

Probably accurate statment. It was nice to see what family members were doing but soon as I stopped it stopped mattering. Though even if it was pretending, liking photos and commenting felt like some involvement in their lives versus the 0 I do now.

Call them. Talk as humans with your mouth flaps. It’s weird now because people have fallen out of practice, but it’s always still an option to just connect like people have for thousands of years, and feels so much more meaningful than poking a like button.

Yeah that’s the answer but like I feel so weird about it. Used to be easy when we were kids but now ppl have variable schedules.
Like my SO has to schedule calls 3 months in advance with friends and then they talk whe. driving. I don’t think there has ever been a call where the friend was not driving somewhere. Another friend cant talk before 9 pm because of kids and we are in bed at 8pm. Its just one excuse after another.
