Distances are not easy to manage. If technology is not your forte, they can become even more triggering.

Sad day.

Brother’s birthday who lives far away.

I must arrange a Skype session in different time-zones.

I suffer for my neighbor.
I’m panicking right now.
A tornado is approaching to make things worse. 

I’m considering whether to call my wife at work or my local helpline.
I’m not very fond of helplines, though I respect the work they do.

My wife comes in an hour, I’ll opt for chronicling after all.
Journaling is very effective in confronting fears.
Oh, wife arrived soon!
We’re going to set Skype, I’m good at humanities while a tech-crook.
I get very emotional talking to my brother, he’s “low-functioning autistic” and institutionalized, though I despise that bigoted populist ideology.
