Living Rarefied

2 reasons we just can't be friends…

I am finding it more and more easy to figure out who actually cares about me though email and phone.  There are 2 sides: those who contact me, and those that don't.

I can get down to the core of what your intentions with me are based on a few things.

If I call you, email you, or try to contact you.  And I hear nothing back for a few days after you know I made an effort to contact you,  maybe a week.  That is the loudest signal to me that I am not even on the fringes of your radar.  Here is why I have an extreme viewpoint on this but am going to stand firm by it, NOBODY is too busy to write a one sentence response, a call on your way to work, or walking into your office pointing out you got my message but am busy and thats it.  I am 100% cool with that, if you're busy… You're busy…
I just cannot stand to listen to somebody explain how busy they have been and haven't had time to breathe…

Yes you have taken a breath, and yes you have 20 seconds to respond.

The output of my extreme view is that everything you do, everything, is more important than me.  I'm not saying I should be at the top of their list of importance.  But I would hope I am not last… I have enough interest to seek you out and contact you.
This upsets me obviously enough to write about it, but I think my leash has been too long and I have given people too much room to dangle me around.  But I need to continue to give those who seek me out their fair share of Ethan…
