I’ve wanted to write something for several months about the fracturing of relationships over politics, pandemic protocols and the click-bait which exacerbates it.  However, the topic is enormous and I’ve just been too busy… showing up.  Showing up for Jana.  Showing up for my kids.  Showing up for my family.  Showing up for friends.  Showing up for my patients.  And they by and large, have shown up for me.

Perhaps a relationship does need to end because a person’s view is truly heinous, horrible, and incompatible with how you wish to live your life.  However… if this person showed up before the bullshit began… and if they continue to show up now… Maybe think twice before nuking the relationship over a team affiliation that essentially exists in the ether.  Those teams never show up.
