\xe2\x80\x9cI Didn\xe2\x80\x99t Know Where Else to Leave This\xe2\x80\x9d
I don\xe2\x80\x99t know if you\xe2\x80\x99ll see this.
I don\xe2\x80\x99t know if I meant for anyone to.
This blog used to be full of things I wanted to say.
Now it\xe2\x80\x99s just quiet HTML and a cursor that blinks like it\xe2\x80\x99s waiting for a pulse.
There\xe2\x80\x99s dust in the tags.
The sidebar links go nowhere.
The comments stopped in 2014, like everyone got tired of pretending they cared what anyone else thought.
But sometimes a silence is just loud enough to answer back.
So I\xe2\x80\x99m putting this here, in the middle of nowhere, where maybe it won\xe2\x80\x99t be noticed.
Or maybe it\xe2\x80\x99ll be exactly where someone needs to find it.
If you\xe2\x80\x99re reading this:
I remember the green jacket. I remember the sound the lights made when they buzzed before you cried.
I remember not asking you to stay.
I think about it all the time.
Anyway.
I hope you\xe2\x80\x99re not looking for this.
But if you are\xe2\x80\xa6
you\xe2\x80\x99re not alone in the quiet.
