Well, my friend has resurfaced. She has indeed been very busy. I guess I need to be more patient. But on the other hand, it does not take more that a minute or so to send an email saying 'got your message and will be in touch'
But, rather than carry forward any kind of grievance, I will just let her know when I do see her that I get insecure when weeks go by with no response to my hellos. Will that make me seem needy and pathetic? I hope not.
