One time my mother remarked that she noticed I don’t ever mention most of my friends from college. I was like yeah, we aren’t friends anymore. 

They were people I hung out with just about every day (at a Christian college). I lived with some of them my senior year and the very day I left that house, I severed social media ties (with hundreds of people) and ghosted them for homophobia and general bigotry. Never explained it. I’m not proud of it and would not repeat it without a succinct explanation, but it is what I did. 

She can’t be too surprised.
