2 hour phone call, he was driving somewhere
Medo checked in on me, asked about potential loneliness after I had mentioned looking up my ex and finding out she’s been dating someone for two years
Asked why I looked it up - I initially said it wasn’t loneliness, but concluded it’s more about the anxiety of finding out something hurtful where the idea of it is worse than the actual occurrence
Recognized this as a pattern tied to seeing others get older and the passage of time - a fear of not having people, not getting to say things I want, and not being able to live my life as a result
Discussed his work situation - had a good chat on what’s helpful vs not helpful for him
He reminded me he’s always doubting himself, which is why I said I don’t give him advice often since it would just confuse him when he already has a direction and both options look equivalently good
Spoke about his wife Halima - she’s always stressed, working too hard, never having time to cook
- Medo’s been trying to cook more to set an example
- Worries about the impact on future kids
- Believes it stems from Halima’s mom being too strict - inferred from stories like making her take off makeup she put on at a wedding, her mom being the matriarch of the family, her dad not helping out much at home

Asked Medo to come pick me up and provided flight number as well as time but hadn’t realized the timing would be ambiguous because of the 14h time difference between Australia and Toronto
Medo came the day before and waited half an hour and is coming again today

Dad having mental breakdown, called Medo to inform if he could be available the next day incase we need to call the police
Dad was more stable in the morning but demanding milk, so Medo came over and gave him Milk as well as a bunch of indian snacks without accepting payment
