We've made it 2 the nXt chapter. Finally... Po-e-tic.
Figured some have puzzled together what this is--weeks ago--though you didn't say, I felt, and saw it N your puppy eyes. LC But yes, this is the part where #AlieNation becomes more AlieN8d. Could B for a year, could B forever, I honestly have no clue. The Universe doesn't always give a schedule.
But what I DO know, is - it has been a GLORIOUS several months. I'm glad 2 have learned from each of you, as well as teach a lesson or 2. Njoyed every minute of it. From celebr8ing your first feats, the jokes, all the way down 2 our passionate conflicts... which somehow, always sparked the GRANDEST ideas. Even when the goal wasn't 2B productive at all. Pure Magic.
I'll keep tabs, see how you're all progressing, before the safety net is cut completely. We'll B unplugged for a while, w/physical meet-ups being a rarity. Just know, I'm still cheering you on despite how critical I can B.
As for me, "vacation" was code for retirement 2 avoid all the mushy good-byes. This has left me Xhausted beyond measure, that no amount of rest will undo. The kind when you >>KNOW<< you're done.
Time 2 move on 2 undiscovered territory 2 apply these newly acquired skills and reactiv8 my curiosity.
Hopefully this pseudo-community we've built helps 2 X10d YOUR Xcitement much further. I've openly grown Xtremely bitter 2 this realm. So, lean on each other when it's best 2, but remain Ndependent. The rules R different here, remember that.
Most importantly, KNOW when you're done. Screw loyalty, if we ever arrive at that bridge, I WANT you guys 2 do what's best for you... within the parameters of respect of course. Sticking around when your heart isn't N it, is of use 2 no one. That's just a catalyst for EVERYTHING we DON'T need... resentment being one.
Besides, we all know "loyalty" is just glorified co-dependence. Those who preach it, R usually the FIRST 2 suck off any1 who slightly resembles an enemy. Then they play victim when you ditch their ass or make them taste their own medicine. Same pattern, different faces.
If you need that space, I'll 100% understand. I'll honor it and Xpect every1 2 follow suit.
Take care of yourselves. #MakeAfricaGr8Again
