I have sent in my resignation a couple of times and rescinded it because it doesn’t seem practical to say no more practicality. But what is practical? Is there a reason for it besides whatever people think or say? I don’t know. Maybe I have been exploring keeping it and letting it go for a long time. At least since I became an adult.
