Unwanted Alienation

My heart gives a slight lurch. Are we going to break off like this? Is this the end we always dreaded?

I quit. I’m leaving. I’m moving on. It’s time.

So simple, yet so impactful. Did we ever imagine how these words would affect us?

We would be friends, right? We do still have that connection, right? Million questions of a beleaguered mind. Staying in touch has never been as easy (so clichéd) but the gap that physical distance brings is slowly exposed. It puts up invisible barriers—real and imagined. From a message today to postponing a call tomorrow, suddenly it’s been month and more.

Is this the way thick as thieves go adrift?


If history holds true, we are doomed.
