I learned today that someone very dear to me, moved about a mile away, and has not let me know for over a year.

My gut says, they are living in a self imposed isolation based in shame of no longer having as much money as they once did.

Thinking through sensitive ways to say, " I don't give a shit about that. Get over it. You're my friend."

Im also paying attention. Because I suspect what he is going through, is something many Americans may go through soon.
