Last night as I was about to brush my teeth, it dawned on me that I still had JR's and David's toothbrushes in the cup with mine.
The words "Awwww" and "Ewwwww" passed through my mind simultaneously.
I picked them up and held them, feeling a sense of lose at the idea of throwing them away. "She'll be lonely" I thought as I looked down at my toothbrush.
I shook it off with a start.
I replaced that thought with, "Maybe she'll enjoy the peace and quiet. The space."
Yeah, somewhere along the line I'd stopped really talking about the toothbrush.
And so I picked up all three toothbrushes and blew them each a kiss and dropped them into the trash.
"Goodbye JR."
"Goodbye David."
"Goodbye to that last little part of me that fears being alone."
P.S. The new toothbrush is yellow. "Florence." I caught her winking at the flosser.

Being alone is not something to be feared, nor dreaded. For me, time alone as time for introspection and time to do what I want, and not have to consider what anyone else wants or whether they're bored or entertained. A time to take off your social mask and truly be yourself.
On the other hand, it's nice to be with someone special from time to time.

Everything is alive in your world.
That's highly commendable.
I like how you look at things, Veaj. We find closure in a million and one ways for a million and one things.
I respect your courage in the face of... well? Your own fear. I like that you refuse to be afraid of anything.*

PS. Nice golden boobs. ;)
