I just find it to be really hard to walk away from the people that I cared(care) so much about. It's just really strange to me because it seems that people do it quite easily. I don't know. Maybe I never meant much to them? Another one of my oldest friends talked about this too. He said that he'd reached out to one of our mutual friends that we'd both known since the late 90s -- we'd stayed in touch since then so not that much time had passed between last talking. But, he said that our mutual friend was unresponsive too.

I once heard the following: "At what point do you say enough is enough in regards to someone you care about? When do you walk away?" The answer: "never." That seemed totally legit and righteous to me, but now I think it makes me appear naive.
