Everyone has that one flaw that's incredibly hard to outgrow. For me, it's staying connected, following up, replying to texts, returning calls. I never do it intentionally, but somehow it keeps happening. And it's never just one person; it's pretty much everyone in my life, work, friends or Family. Lately, a few situations have reminded me of it, which is why I'm writing this. And a special apology to my friend @MudrikaKavdia. Baby, I'm calling you in a while. Please do pick up the phone. 🥹
