I’ve got a plane to catch, yet there is a part of me that can’t leave. I’ve got a friend who just caught her husband cheating on her for the second time. She left with her pocketbook and keys and it’s been 2 weeks now, and no one has seen her since. I’ve got a friend who’s in the hospital and seems to be getting worse and worse every day; his life of drugs, women, and alcohol is finally taking its toll on his very life. I’m at my desk at work trying to hold back a tear, my boss’s words flying in one ear and out the other. I planned two trips, one for Hawaii and the other for Chicago simply to visit loved ones, whom I cherish more than anything–weeks of planning–only to be told at the last minute that I can’t go, the words “can’t go” echoing down the off-white hallways all the way to the bathroom, all the way throughout the deepest, black corners of my mind where a figure stands staring into the mirror begging God for the strength to hold it all in. I am so sick of the, I’m-mad-and-I’m-not-going-to-speak-to-Phillip-syndrome. My closest friend is upset with me because I missed his birthday; his phone is going straight to voice mail when right now I really need to hear his voice. I guess on this one I am on my own. It’s funny because it seems when It really comes down to it, maybe I am.
