The pains of separation.

I am definitely not a fan of breaking something I helped to build but there are occasions when it actually does need to happen. It isn't like writing a story where you know it will have a specific end that you are always writing to... it's more like a car you've built that has started going down the road and will, at any moment's notice, break down or fail due to the inevitability of entropy since you can't do anything to repair or maintain it while it is in the act of being driven. Probably a lengthy, somewhat clunky, metaphor but whatever... it gets the point across... I hope. Anyway, I am not a fan of jumping off a moving vehicle when it is still gaining speed. It generally means I will be missing the funnest part(the top speed portion of the journey) but when it needs to be done it needs to be done. I am nothing if not a slave to my ethical compass.
