Connections

Sometimes I hesitate to know, to reconnect with people because that means I have more people to care about, to worry about. I've been keeping bare minimums with my contacts because there's only one of me to constantly fret over whether they're safe driving/riding in the rain, whether there's shelter, whether there's a place to eat at lunch and whether they're okay. It takes so much out of me to care because I have so little of me left, so little of the past me left to pass out to everyone and I'm rapidly draining that fossil.
