COVID-19 Lockdown, Day 86

I took a few minutes last night to get rid of a bunch of old conversations with fandom friends who have disappeared or moved on. I'd held on to many of them for years, hoping, in some small, forlorn way, that they would return someday and be pleased that I had kept this little light burning for them. But none of them have, or will, and looking at them made me sad, so away they went. Few things inspire more melancholy than saying goodbye to old friends or letting go of those who never became one.

Life is so often a disappointment.
