Aries

The friend you have not called back is waiting for you to make the same conversation you always make, and you have stopped being willing to pretend that version of yourself still fits. Something shifted in how you move through your days, and now the old rhythm of checking in and catching up feels like wearing clothes that are too small. You keep meaning to reach out, but every draft message sounds like it is coming from someone you used to be. The silence is not about them, and it is not about anger. It is about the space between who you have become and who they expect to find on the other end of the phone.
