a letter to wren

Hi. I feel isolated from my family because they live out of state. I have a roommate that I’ve known for years but lately our relationship hasn’t been feeling like it used too. I have some friends that I’ve made at work but overall I feel like I can’t be myself around them. I feel like I only have myself and it’s been that way for a while. I’m struggling with it.

dear wren,

have you voiced these sentiments to those close to you? I have recently learned that, most times at least, others are too immersed in their own lives and perspectives to realize what is going on around them. centering the self is a human specialty that I do not care much for but it is ours to keep.

I know my earlier question is rather simple, perhaps even disappointing. yet, the obvious goes often unnoticed so I hope you are willing give it some thought.
