Day 50. Loneliness.

Today was filled with the gravity of those that didn't show. Often we miss the sun when it is eclipsed by clouds. Every student that could not come to class to become educated, due to a test that was administered in the name of education, cast a heavy shadow on my heart. As a child I embraced solitude. Because I had no choice. If there was a party I would be the one making friends with the dog. Dogs don't judge. Except for Chihuahuas. They are very arrogant and judgmental.

I guess everyone enjoyed their day off. I'm glad I didn't make cookies like I was planning to. And so the silence of the night followed me into daylight and now I wait alone for darkness again. At least I know all of my Seniors will show tomorrow. A heart can only heal a finite amount before it becomes permanently broken.
