My time at the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company is nearing an end. After a stressful week, no month, no years, well, you get the idea, we are finally nearing the part in the road where they stand still in the rear view mirror and eat the dust in my wake. It's been a long tortuous road. Oh, there were moments when it all seemed like it was destined for sweetness, maybe even greatness but those moments grew fewer and farther between until they become non-existent. Silly me kept thinking that the loyalty on both sides should have grown deeper through the years but it actually became more and more distrustful. Not a recipe for success. And so the inevitable has come to pass.

Life will break you.
Nobody can protect you from that,
and living alone won’t either,
for solitude will also break you with its yearning.
You have to love.
You have to feel.
It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are broken,
or betrayed,
or left,
or hurt,
or death brushes near,
let yourself sit by an apple tree and
listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps,
wasting their sweetness.
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
~ Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum: A Novel)
