Good bye for now Feb. 13, 2024

  

 

She posted a video explaining much of it yesterday, but not everything.

In fact, she made a point of not explaining the exact reasons for her moving, except to say that it had been mounting for a while and came to a head suddenly and sooner than she expected.

She wasn’t crying; yet it felt like she wanted to.

She didn’t say why exactly she chose to go back to that part of New York State where she previously lived, except to say even though NY is expensive, it is cheaper than where she is living currently – hinting that part of the motivation may be financial.

She also pointed out that her family lives in the area (somewhat south, but easier to reach than from where she is now.)

But she deliberately did not go into the gritty details of the rest, which if judged by the pattern of her life, may involve a ruined romance.

I don’t think this has anything to do with me or my decade old journal that I have been posting, but I stopped posting – at least temporarily – until I get a better idea of the situation.

She did solve the mystery of her job, which she said she was keeping even though she was moving, claiming that she would continue the job remotely, and had been doing the job remotely even where she lives currently for about four years.

She will have to give up horse riding and the pony she just started renting, due to an injury that horse riding tended to aggravate. This is the most emotional part of the video, about giving up the horse life and those friends associated with it, as well as the weekly videos she has been posting about it.

She said she hopes to return to it when she gets to her new location since there is horse riding in that area (as she should know since she did some of that when she last lived there).

She said she would pick up again once things are settled and would start up her videos again.

Her injury and her giving up the horse riding really has nothing to do with the move, nor perhaps do the finances.

What she left out of the video looms large, since all the factors she stated do not add up for a need to leave.

Because this is so similar a situation to previous dramatic moves, it would seem logical to believe she needs to escape something else, something far more debilitating, and something she needs a lot of distance from in order to begin her life anew.

But the whole thing has an abrupt feel to it. She said it had been coming on for a long time, but something changed recently and forced her hand, and now, she’s in a rush to pack and relocate, saying the whole thing will happen in about two weeks.

Without her weekly videos, I doubt whether or not there will be any way to keep track of her, even though the videos are not quite as revealing as her poetry was.

None the less, this last video filled in some of the blanks.
