So this hurts and it shouldn't, but it does, and I'm sad, even though I don't want to be, and I have a yearning, even though I have no regrets.

And I'm not sure what to do. Should I do anything at all?

Probably not.

Just let it run its course.

The writing has been on the wall for this one. For quite some time.

in the bible in revelations i think or somewhere, it warns you that near the end times, false prophets will pop up claiming to be the messiah. do you ever think scholars from like 700 years ago studying the bible would have thought this would be one of them

The last po’ouli died in an unusual nest. Too weak to perch, the brownish-greyish songbird rested in a small towel twisted into a ring. He was the last of his species, the last in fact of an entire group of finches, and occurred nowhere on Earth outside his native Hawaii. For weeks, as scientists tried to find him a mate, he had been getting sicker. The only remaining po’ouli had just one eye. Alone in the towel, alone in all the world, he closed it.
