This is my attempt to write something for the prompt at the Writers Bloc workshop which can be located here: Writing So here's my small response to one of the prompts. I don't usually do this sort of thing so it's hard to even think of anything. XP

I Quit!

I’ll never forget the day that my best friend quit. At the time it made no sense, she had everything, a loving fiancé a budding career and a family that adored her. But that didn’t stop her from suddenly standing up one day and declaring “I quit” before she walked out the door to never return.

For the longest time I was so disappointed that she had turned her back on us, leaving everything and everyone behind, even God. Until that moment she always had a smile on her face and nothing but words of excitement for all that was happening in her life. So I keep asking myself, why did she quit? Why did she walk out and sever all ties?

I refused to believe the gossip and hateful words that she had lost faith and strayed from the one true path. A soul so beautiful and radiant couldn’t fall that far, could it? I held on to the hope that she would return and explain why she had left that day. I’m still waiting even though it’s been many years since she left.

Life continued as it always does, heedless to our own internal struggle or questions. I grew up and moved out to begin forging my own path of discovery. I’ve only been on my own for about a year and yet I feel like I’ve been here forever. There are so many new things to learn and explore that at times I feel lost. I do wonder about one thing though, about how my friend declared she quit and left. Did she really quit? Or did she simply move on and leave the box behind?
