You. Through you I’ve lost pieces of myself, but ultimately I lost you. A regret I will have to endure for the rest of my life. I would give anything to be with you again.

I'm trying to build an actual adult relationship with my parents, which means realizing we never had a good relationship to begin with. Every admission of distance and pain feels like a new loss; an acknowledgement that we've been performing for decades and there's no real foundation. It feels like I lost my happy family.

Internet weirdo here. I’m going to miss my fellow internet weirdos and the bonds we created following all the clues and brainstorming ideas.

I lost my wonderful cat. She was 20 years old and the sweetest cat I had ever met. I don’t know of any other that enjoyed being swaddled like a baby and carried around the house. I miss her every day.

I tore apart my entire life this year when we sold our condo and left the only place that ever felt like "home" to move to a more affordable city. I'm still lukewarm about the new location after three months, and I'm definitely grieving the loss. Seeing everyone in QM evacuate (multiple times) and face starting over has felt very relatable, even if I didn't uproot my life due to Voids and time wonkiness. The residents of Question Mark (especially the internet weirdos) have provided great comfort.

Every time I think of something I've lost, it reminds me of something I've gained. I have no idea if the scales are level yet. Some days I feel so low and other days feel just right. Maybe I've lost enough of the right things. Maybe I've lost perspective and now I'll never know.

I lost my job, or at least I will. I faced perhaps the hardest year of my life and feel as though I failed despite knowing I gave everything I had and a bit more to help the children I work with. I continue marching on, but as the end of the school year approaches, I find the weight of uncertainty as I try to find a new job and the pain of reaching the end of my first year of teaching slowly feel as though it is crushing me.

Bluebeard by millay. It wasn't the catastrophe we expected. There was no pyroclastic cloud that buried the laughter. No blinding apocalyptic oblivion to decimate the color of our world. No demonic fog to jaundice our vision. No emergency broadcast systems or fallout alarms. It all disappeared and is here but you can't have it. It's all within these four corners. A myriad of experiences, all unified and homogenized through one rectangular filter. For your pleasure and convenience. For your depression and malaise. Restlessness and confusion. Your illusion of choice and independence. You will have no books. There are no radios or cameras. No flashlights. No trading cards. No rollerskating nights. No drive in movies. No chalked sidewalks. No pining for her while you assemble the perfect tape or disc, and practice the perfect handwriting. No 3rd dimension. No conversations with our voices, impromptu with no backspaces. We have this, our rectangular filter. Flattened, backlit, and commodified. It's all gone but it's all here and you can't have it. It moved slowly but quickly, and without notice or alarm. I'm sorry. We all are.

This is a small loss compared to the many listed here, but the impending disappearance Question Mark, a community of caring people invested in the future of this town, an oasis in a dark world wracked by rising fascism and genocide, is indeed a loss. Over 13 months of uncertainty and grief indeed, the people of Question Mark have been a companion in my pocket or under my pillow. Their worries and puzzles and hopes were mine. Their bike rides to the library or trips out for ice cream or sojourns in the dump were shared. I looked for their missing cats and I struggled to decipher the meaning in their chaos. I will be sad to see them go, but will cherish their lessons in my heart as we let go, together.

I've lost so many friends that I thought were so dear and vital to my day-to-day life. They may not even think about me anymore, aside from a random thought and internet dive to find an online profile. I loved some of them, I hated some of them, I did not know how in the world I would have a life without them in it. But I do - with new friends, that in 5, 15, 30 years I may only remember in passing. But the life still beats on, even though everything else changes.
