Challenge of the Week CCXXIV
You've checked out, had enough, are unplugging for a year, and heading off into a nice place in the woods with enough supplies to write the novel you've always wanted to, and to be alone. You've decided to email yourself a paragraph to copy/paste for all the texts you're about to send to your people before you drive off. What do you say? 25 dollars to the top recluse. Winner will be judged by likes.

Goodbye for Now

Dear Mom,

You are the one person I owe an answer to.

I am finally letting go. Cutting loose. Getting onto the highway and not looking back. I have wasted so many years of my life doing what I should, never entertaining the idea of doing what I want. I have worked and saved and planned for so long. But I am done with that now. I have found no fulfillment in it, and I need to get away.

I know you will understand. After the many nights of talking and crying I know you would've supported my choice. My life is my own, and I need to take advantage of it. So I am on my way somewhere. To write. My writing is something that I have kept to myself. But in some ways it has been my dream for a long time. So, in a year I will return, hopefully with a finished novel in hand.

I love you more than anything. If others ask where I have gone you may tell them whatever you like. You are my life's greatest blessing. I will miss you.

Love,

M.
