After I left the thrift store on Saturday, my next stop was the library. I'd created a farewell message to my family and friends, but in retrospect it was a bit more severe than I'd planned. I mean, I was planning on vanishing forever.
Seeing as how I wasn't going to be vanishing forever, I opted to put up a message that wasn't quite as extreme. However, I still wanted to contact my loved ones and let them know what was up.
My good friends, Syn and Jayne, responded with just a touch of optimism above neutral. They knew I hadn't been happy for a long time and they knew it was in my nature to take off this way. They understood and I, in turn, understood them.
Then I contacted my best friend Terrence. I was the best man at his wedding. We've been friends since forever. We're simpatico in ways that I've never been simpatico with anyone. He didn't respond at all. I understand that too.
My sister lost her shit. She never really got me and she aggressively rejects every part of my nature. We're closer to each other that we are to my brother, but that's not saying much. It was dramatic, but then in our own restrained, WASPy way, we're a pretty dramatic bunch.
I dunno. Maybe she was just giving me my dramatic exit.
