Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

-May 10, 2021. I was masked up and had my bags packed. I headed to the door, but paused at the entrance. Did I really want to do this? Was it too late to back out? I was headed towards the unknown for me.

I had enjoyed life a little too much. My health was okay, but I could feel the slide already. It was time to take control of my life and “pay the check” as a friend of mine said. I went inside and gave my name to the person at the desk as I checked in for gastric bypass surgery.

Goodbye, I said to my old life.
