One of my favorite mutuals started posting some hot takes and it hurt because some of the topics were things I would love to work on, in my career or even as a personal hobby. It made me ask questions like, is this (potential) friend so important to me I would give up some things I would love to do? Does pushing forward with the work mean having to distance yourself from antagonizing friends? When does the tolerance crack? Am I overthinking this?
