When I set the letters down a great sense of clarity comes over me. I eye my laptop on the desk, then open it up and pull up my e-mail. I know what I need to do. I know what the next chapter holds, but taking that first step, oh, it’s hard. Buoyed by Margaret’s words—After all, life is short. We must pursue the people, places, and things in life that bring us the most joy—I write the words I should have written years ago:

Dear Arthur,

Please accept this letter of resignation from my position at Chase & Hanson Bank. You took me under your wing and showed me the ropes of the bank. You made me who I am, and my success in our profession is owed solely to you. But, speaking frankly, Arthur, I don’t like who I’ve become. I don’t like the woman who’s learned to feel no emotion, the woman who can sell a beloved business on the auction block without blinking an eye. Yes, positions like ours are integral to the success of business, to capitalism, to the world, even. I just don’t want to be the one who carries out that work anymore. It’s time for me to turn the page. You’re a good man, Arthur. You’re the nicest asshole I’ve ever met.

Yours,

June
