Dear T,

Thanks for being open to talking more about the move (though you did try to veer away from it at one point). I do think maybe your talking about killing the palm tree today triggered some of the sadness. Not because I have a particular attachment to that tree, but because it's another thing going away.

I think we came up with some good stuff together on why this is so distressing to me, aside from the obvious dislike of change and attachment to places. Your thought on how this is probably the first time I'm losing a "space" since my termination with ex-MC. Yeah, there have been restaurants that I've lost (thought of that on the way home), but in terms of safe spaces, his was probably the most recent--and that was 6 years ago. Losing his first office would be the other most recent one, and that's like 7-8 years ago.

And your comment that we've worked through ruptures and conflicts in this office, and maybe I fear that the same energy won't be there in the new one to do so. Or at least that we won't have that history there. That rang true as well. Lots to think about. And not all literally about you/your office either.

Love,
LT
