Seasonal Friends

Some people disappear from our lives for a season.

They turn off their devices and don’t pick up the phone.

I guess they need to have some distance for a season.

If you are reading this, you are not one of them.

Seasonal friends don’t read other people’s blogs.

They have very little capacity for other people’s thoughts.

They’ll come back

when they get tired enough of themselves.

Don’t judge them hard.

Some people start speaking before they turn one,

others say their first word when they are three.

Some others regret all of their lives that they ever

opened their mouth in the first place.
