in less than 48 hours, i’ll be road tripping around the southwestern united states. i’ll post when i return in about three weeks. for the first time, i feel quite apprehensive about this trip. this will be the longest i will ever be gone without having my son with me.
it is also a trip that is being taken with a person who’s friendship has caused me much sadness lately. friendships change and sometimes one person removes themselves from the routines that existed. i understand all that. however, i do want to be told if my friendship is being terminated. i expect honesty.
here’s the trick though…what do you do if honesty is not an option? what if a friend is so committed to not look bad?
personally, i’m tired and wounded. but i don’t need anyone to do me any favors. i’d be thrilled to go on the trip by myself.
so…with less than 48 hours left…what do i do? i do what i do best, i bought a pretty journal to record my deepest thoughts, charged my iPod to block out the world, and pack a Saul Bellow novel.
