...Evidently there are no wrong answers. Merely overdramatic and inaccurate ones.
I am not presuming anything of that nature. I merely point it out to illustrate that I am not attempting to place any burden on you, specifically. I understand the nature of this ship and its cyclical ways of losing and gaining passengers, but I was ill prepared for it and felt the need to emotionally withdraw to save further heartache.
I like this ship. I feel the people here are strange but good, and kind, in ways that I wish to protect, even to the point of overstepping and causing harm in another way. These last few weeks have been challenging because I am wrestling with the choice of overstepping or stagnating. I did not wish to break further hearts. Or in your more accurate words, cause extreme emotional pain.

The validity of my purpose is, regretfully, being revisited many times this week.
