This may have been something building up since I switched to a remote job in 2020. Or the fact that I’m always with another human that can’t use words yet but I miss human interactions.
I was never one who needed to be surrounded by people. I’m good traveling alone. I don’t need a shopping partner. After the 5K I did this last weekend with a friend and, of course, Olivia, I realized I missed the running community and just chatting with people.
Each week, I kind of wish someone would send a text just checking up on me. I saw a meme a couple weeks ago that was joking about that it goes both ways. It kind of hit hard honestly.
I feel like sometimes I’m always the one making the effort but it never goes both ways. I’m craving that human interaction that is hard to get as a remote worker/mom. It’s sad when you get excited over a trip to the grocery store to see familiar faces of the workers there.
Anywho, know a parent? Send a text just saying “hey thinking of you!” Also know that they may take a bit to get back to you because they are doing laundry/feeding their kids/bathing and etc.
Crap. That reminds me I still have laundry to do.
Happy Halloween people!
