"i want to repeat one word for you:

leave.

roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. 

it is a beautiful word, isn't it? 

so strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. 

and you will not be alone. 

you have never been alone. 

don't worry. everything will still be here when you get back. 

it is you who will have changed.”

Miller, D.
