I sometimes wonder why I keep trying to make friendships work when they seem to end in the same way. These are people who know me well, understand my triggers, and know how I can react in certain situations. Yet something still happens: I speak up, and then the conversation goes quiet. It leaves me questioning why I keep putting myself through it.
There are a few things going on in my life that I’m working through privately. I’ve shared parts of my life here and on social media, but some things are personal, and I’d rather deal with them in my own time.
It’s 2 a.m. on Saturday, and I’ve just started watching the four-part Netflix series Adolescence. I’ve heard and read a lot about it, so I’m finally settling in to watch it.
For now, I’m going to focus on the show for a while.
