One Who Seeks the Light
I’m leaving it all, my love: The village, the temple, this life we’ve built, and you. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but even so I’ve loved you since the day we met, and I love you still. I didn’t tell the temple, I can think of no good words for them, but for you above all I wanted to leave an explanation, a reason, if only to ease my own guilt.

Dear Lorna, Not Who I Thought You Were
Dear Lorna, Not Who I Thought You Were: I resign this UN-friendship. The CRUX: I was never your go-to, just your sometimes, nothing-better-to-do sidekick. In the early years, we cooked together and talked about garden plants and homemade baby food. Beach get-togethers in spring proved too cold for me, but we liked hiking in the mountains in the summer. So many fun times are shadowed by the times you imbibed too hard and said such ugly things. In the beginning, I defended you. Later, I could no longer do it, with so much evidence slapping me in the face. I didn't know you when you were young, and I can't speak to why alcohol overcame you. It was unpleasant to see and ruined many times that would have been fun.

I Resign From Being Your Dumping Ground
To: Whoever decided I could carry the whole damn world on my back Subject: I f*cking quit This is my official, public, and gloriously overdue resignation from the unpaid, soul-sucking, boundary-destroying job of being The One Who Holds It All Together. You know the type — the friend who always shows up, the sibling who fixes everything, the coworker who never says no, the person whose phone blows up when everyone else is falling apart but who gets radio silence when it's their turn to unravel.

To Whom It May Concern (and oh, it concerns many).
To Whom It May Concern (and oh, it concerns many), I hereby tender my resignation. Effective immediately, I am stepping down from my long-held, unpaid, and thoroughly exhausting position as The Strong One. I know this may come as a shock to some — after all, I’ve held this position for years, and I’ve worn it like a badge of honor (read: a straitjacket tailored in silence). But today, with the full authority vested in me by no one but my own fraying patience, I quit.
