October 24! Why, it is you again, October 24. Now, do you remember what happened on October 24... Well...yes. And it's very bitter in retrospect

Well, this is certainly awkward. We don't really communicate aside of three instances in almost a year and the first sign of life I get from you in months is one that is very unlike the usually intellecutually entertaining one. Normally I'd offer my words of advice, oft heard and never heeded by anyone with common sense. But it seems misplaced now. I remember talking to you for the first time years ago on FMC and how I thought you were stunningly smart and mature. We got to know each other quite well starting almost two years ago, it was then that I realized that your very cultured and sophisticated demeanor, laced with just that much cuteness, was hiding a very vulnerable core.
The reason I bring up something like this at a time like this is the following: I usually would have given you advice on this, my smart alec opinion, as I did in similiar situations before. You hardly ever followed it on the important notes.
And that has made you an a lot more complete person. I don't even feel the audacity to tell you what is the fail-proof and right thing to do anymore. You've become all growed up in ways that outstripped my keenest immagination. Without me.
Knowing this I can rest easy when I don't hear of you in months and maybe, some day, years. Because I know that you've done the motions, chosen your own path and stood up to the meanest bully around (me.)
So long little one, go forth like the wind. Woosh!
