This is hard...

Hard to write, hard to say, hard to do; simply hard.

Some people, of course, already know this, others will understand why when I tell them, but to many of you this is going to seem a bit shocking. And I don't think I can explain, or at least, not to many people's satisfaction.

With everything that's happened, I really haven't been dealing very well with... Well, actually, with a lot of stuff. This was hit home while Scott was gone, when I lost control of myself. I... would rather not elaborate on that.

Charles and I have been talking, and he feels that I need to go on a sort of vision quest. Relearn a lot of the things I knew three, four, ten years ago and lost. Or find new ways of coping with the world and my powers. Or both. Or neither. Certainly I need to learn new ways of coping with myself.

This is NOT good bye. I couldn't say goodbye to you even if I wanted to, and that is the last thing in the world I want. But I am going away and I can't say how long I'll be gone, because I don't know. Am not even very sure where I'll be going, although my first stop is going to be Tibet.

And I'm going there tomorrow.

I know, this is incredibly short notice, partly because I really can't deal with doing a lot of tearful goodbyes - it feels as though I've cried small oceans since May already.

I am sorry about this. Sorry about the suddenness, and the unexplainedness of it all. Sorry I'm not coping better. And so, so sorry that it's come to this.

I never thought, after finally coming home, I would ever leave again. And certainly not that I would ever choose to leave.

I wish my master were still alive; I am sure he could have helped you. He was very wise.

Be well, Jean, and I hope that you find what you need.

Take care, Jean. I hope you find what you're looking for soon. It's a brave thing you're doing, and you will be better for it.

Best of luck out there, doc.

Sometimes leaving is the right choice, though it is never the easy one. No goodbyes here either.

See you later Jean.

I wanted to apologize for what happened on the beach. I wish I could have apologized in person, and now you're leaving. Better late than never, though, I guess. Even if you understand, I wanted to say it.

I'm sorry.

Good luck, Jean. Taking care of yourself is one choice you should never have to be sorry for. I hope you find what you're looking for.
