No Goodbyes (07/15/2007)

Hello Gilbert,
This is a rather casual message from a supposedly new member of the "Third Force".
I’ll ditch the formality first ending with the usual congratulations on a job you’ve done very well.
Now, on to the meat of it…
It’s sad that I won’t experience enjoying the "force" with you. Since I would have been under your team, I thought of writing directly to you first about it. You might think that I can, just like you and everybody else, but I wouldn’t want to. When I went away from home and started working on my own, I did turn my back on my responsibility. And now that I’m turning back to it, I realise, I have again to leave something behind: Motif. Work. It’s not that I don’t deserve to be in this field. It’s just that my skills, capabilities, and interest aren’t just compatible with it. I’m not giving up, just quitting. Gilbert, you might not believe me when I say it’s so much painful for me to leave, but please understand me, at least. I felt the need to do something more, more than work that would fulfill me. My life isn’t here anymore.
Enough with the drama because you’re a comedic man. But I know, beneath that plaster of smile you wear on your face, you will begin carrying the burdens of your team (me being the first). Don’t worry, I won’t be much of a loss. A person’s loss transforms into a gain, for one entity can’t be without the other. Better things will come your way, and that goes for me too.
Just keep up doing what you love to do and enjoy every minute of it.
See you around.
Kind regards,
Em
