Answer Prompt: Saying Goodbye

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

I have to honestly say, leaving Florida this last time was difficult. Leaving behind friends and family was hard.

I’m glad I’ve made the move, even if I didn’t end up staying in Chicago. I’ve met my partner, made a scant handful of new friends.

Prompt Answer: Patriotic

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Oh, what the fuck is this shit?

You’re asking the person who got in trouble multiple times for not standing up for the Pledge of Allegiance in high school after 9/11.

Fuck. No. I am not patriotic. I think being all “fuck yeah, America is great” is a symptom of brainwashed fuckwits.

Being patriotic to me is laughable. Mockable even.

Fuck America and it’s for-profit bullshit. I’d be an ex-pat any day.
