You want to change?

I hate to do this so soon...I hadn't planned for this to happen yet, but the truth is simply that I can't bear to wait anymore.

I'm going back to my world--at least, I think that's where I'm headed. I don't know why, or how, but something is telling me that there's someplace I could have been all this time, and I've just been too stubborn to accept it. I think that someone might be waiting on me. I don't know if that means I'm getting a second chance at life, or...well, whatever else it could possibly signify. I'm sure of very little right now, except the near-certainty that I'll be seeing Hugo again. That's why I can't wait around anymore.

I don't know how long I'll be there, and how long that will equate to here. Despite this, I can promise you that I will be back. I've made connections here that I'd never want to lose, and I promised a few people I'd stay on for awhile longer.

All of my close friends--you know who you are--and maybe a few others will receive letters from me, if I can find a way to send them.

Ruby, I'll help you more when I return. I'm so sorry, but I stalled this for as long as I could.

I'll be gone by morning. Until then, I'm here to talk. I don't want to leave without saying goodbye.

Angel...thank you for everything. I'll be putting the camera to good use within the next few days, and my photos of Hurley are already in the frame. It's perfect.

Morgan, thank you for the sweater. I'm wearing it right now, actually! It's so warm and soft.

West, the scrapbook is wonderful. I'll be taking pictures for it soon, so get ready to have yours done!

Billy, the scarf is lovely. The "Chubby Hubby" ice cream gave me a laugh, and I'll probably be enjoying it later tonight.

Martha, I just adore the blanket. Thank you.

Ruby, thanks for the bath supplies. I'll have to commandeer a friend's bathroom, since I only have a shower in mine, but I look forward to using them.

Elle, you are an ass. And while I'm on that subject: Rube, I'll be sending some rendered fat down to the kitchen for use in cooking. Elle apparently doesn't quite understand the difference between lard and fat men.
