Below, a letter I just sent Sarah. I hope she doesn’t take it the wrong way.

This isn’t me overeacting (for once).

I realized tonight that you’re in college.

And I want you to have a great time, I guess what I’m sort of doing, I mean now that Nathan’s there it’s sort of, I feel like, you know, No Outside Visitors, I mean, I guess last year it was me and Nathan, and now there’s one, and I don’t feel like you have enough time to devote here:

Which is why I’m writing.

I just want you to have good time. I don’t really want to get in the way, I love seeing you, and I miss you all the time, but I can’t expect it to be even what it was last year.

I just I have so many expectations for us and our friendship and I think it’s time I drop them.

I miss you dearly, dear. And this isn’t to place blame, it’s just what happens I guess, and I sort of do feel like I’m losing all my friends that mean anything, and like I told you the other day, I don’t really have anyone to help me anymore.

Maybe that’ll be good for me.

I love you so much. And that’s why you should be happy, and whenever you have free time, call. I’ll still call like I do.

I won’t expect you — I won’t expect anything.

P.S. I had a bath for the first time in a year and a little, it felt good.

P.P.S. If you don’t want me to drop my expectations, just tell me! 🙂 God, I feel like such a little kid when I “talk” to you on here.

I wish I could give this to you in person, like it used to be. God. It has been such a long time.

Love.

I think it’s a decent thing to write. It’s a pain in the ass to deal with your friends all being gone. The summer plays tricks on you and makes you think they’ve come back for good. This is the second school year I’ve watched all my friends leave, and it doesn’t get easier. It sucks.
