I can relate! Plus, having someone want to celebrate my birthday makes me sooooo uncomfortable. But i do appreciate when an old friend understands that even though i cant keep up with the usual pace of a normal friendship, i do like to touch base once in a while.
So many amazing things are going on in the world, it doesnt all have to be about you. People ask me what i am doing now, i tell them, "Absolutely nothing, and yet it takes me all day!
" Im sure there is no rush as to when she wants to get together.
