AKA Patrick
One of my best friends I have known since 1st/2nd grade and that same friend group has essentially kept in touch with each other since. Some have not, but those were msotly just poor life choices rather than time/distance. We were one of the 2 or 3 groups of nuero-divergent/queer kids who had little other choice in the rural mid west of the US. Not that a lot of us found out what being neuro-divergent/queer really meant until after school, just found each other anyway. That is my 3 yen in this current conversation anyway.
