  • Whether desirable or not all friendships have an expiration date. The ebb and flow of life causes people to change over time. Commonalities fade and disappear whether the memory of them remains or fades as well. The connections that brought you together are severed, and may no longer be present. Where once your lives were…

  • While retaining all the rights that belong to a human being as a citizen of the United States, and while remaining a citizen of the United States, I hereby resign as a member of the human race.
