(no subject)
It is sad that I am posting this now.. there are so many other things that I could be posting. But this is important.
I could get into details but I can't in part because some of it crosses over into things that no one on my Friends List, regardless of their age, should ever be subjected to.
I am about to remove someone from my Friends list, someone very dear to me. Not because I want to, but because they haven't responded to any of my comments, my e-mails, and because they have extremely painful associations with me.
So rather than going into all the details, let me say Goodbye and Thank you.
You are an amazing person. I know that you will always be there to support the people I have left behind at Earlham. There is a saying "People come into your life for a reason, and when they leave it, you know it is time."
You were the first person at Earlham I came out to. And you gave me a book I continue to recommend to anyone in that spot. When I got sick, it was your words which I remembered. You treated me like a human being -- physically, cognitively, and allowed me to write the chapters in my own book. I still carry that dignity with me, the one you said I must carry. You understand human psychology better than anyone I've ever studied with.. and this is the only time I will mention it: You were not wrong to place your trust in me.
I cannot really be vegan, as I cannot cook. But I do watch my dietary choices because of you. I eat tofu, and drink soy milk. As I go on and on, I realize posting this message is very unjust. It radiates pain and suffering -- even though I am trying to convey the profound gratitude I feel towards you for the gifts you have given me.
I am going to stop now.
I have always been confused about how to sign my letters, but right now it's pretty darn clear.
--The real me
P.S One simple request for my readers: Do not assume you know *anything*. Ask.
