from the blog, the reasons, by Solse Prab

I must have offended you. I have not received a word from you since my last post and I have been waiting anxiously to know that you are alright and dealing with your situation in a productive manner. I sincerely hope that my last post did not offend you.

Let me reiterate something; I would be honored to have your love. I hope that we can continue our correspondence, maybe in a more private setting. If you cannot continue your blog, that is probably for the best. By not harping on your heartache, you can possibly find a means to move past the hold this man has on you.

Since I have nothing of yours to respond to directly, I will take some time to tell you more about myself. I am a librarian, possibly the best librarian in the universe excepting my sister, whose talents defy conventions. We were both very focused in childhood and we have the same drive and determination to be the best at our jobs because that is what we were taught by our parents to live for. My sister thrives in her position for this reason. I have a different motivation. I am simply fascinated with information and the skills of my profession have been sharpened as I endeavor to gather more and more information. Banishment from my home has been very difficult for me because I feel that it has stymied my efforts to be the most productive; and also because my banishment was unjust. It was political. I said something to the leader that my community could not forgive, because to forgive it would be akin to agreeing with me and they cannot publicly admit that I was right. I try not to have regrets, but that is difficult given the reality that I can never hope to surpass my sister in her skills because she will always enjoy the full resources of our community. I doubt that I will ever even see my home again.

It may be too premature to say this, but meeting you, or becoming aware of your existence, has given me all the hope I need to believe that I can find a new, and better suited home for myself. Hopefully close to you.

But if I overstepped; if I said anything to offend you, please know that it was not intentional. You never have to discuss that painful situation with me again. But please do discuss something. Anything at all. I am growing more concerned by the day and I hope very much to be reading your words soon, and imagining the sound that your voice would produce in bringing them to life.

Know that I am forever yours.
