When you feel like your current life is saying
What was your name again?
Are you *still* here?
when your old life is almost literally dying to have you near again
And it is speaking your name over and over again

Say more about this! I'm interested to hear more of these thoughts.

Feelings of loneliness in a place where we've known people for sixteen years. And you think you *should* have deep friendships with people. But there are short hellos and lack of conversation. Feeling like acquaintances. Feeling unwanted? Tolerated?

And the second part...caring for our aging parents is no joke. I feel too far away to make a difference for my parents. Though I am in constant contact via text/email/phone/weekly video chats.

Reading the post over again I see more layers than this. But these were my primary thoughts when I wrote it.
