unresolved, awkward

So much has happened over this break... or not much at all. It's hard to say. But I am not in the mood to tell you all right now... so instead...

Flipping through old yearbooks... found one that really... touched me...

Vonda,

It's been a lifetime, but it's over. Yikes!... Wonder what the future holds, though I don't really care. Best of luck being a dentist or engineer or whatever career you finally decide on. I don't doubt that you'll succeed with ease.

Believe it or not, your strict moral fiber many times saved me from going crazy. You were always reliable - whenever the world of self-exploration got to be too much (seriously, though, it is self-exploration), I could always rely on you to yell at me for being stupid. Without sarcasm, I thank you for that.

I ought to say more, thank more, explain more, but it doesn't seem right. So I'll just leave things how they are - unresolved, awkward - and let time erase it all steadily.

As for me, I'll be fine. When I get tired of what I'm not tired of just yet, I'll straighten out and become an honorable and upstanding citizen. Maybe. We'll see.

Happy vibes,
Brandon Macer

I admit, I got a little choked up reading that message. It was by far one of the most honest and REAL messages I received.

Wherever you are Brandon Macer... I hope you are alright.
