My untimely exit feels like a failure. I feel like I've broken a promise, like I've abandoned people who were counting on my help just as things are starting to hit their worst. I feel like it's unfair that I'd bail on new friends over things that I'd stick through for my UL crew. And I feel like a hypocrite because I kept saying I didn't trust them not to do the same. I still worry that the site lead will be left there alone to clean it all up.

Everyone was super sweet while I was explaining why I had to leave, but I don't know if I trust that there won't be any hard feelings. I need some space from the whole experience, but once I've had that I don't know how many of them I'll want to keep in touch with, or if I'll write this year's burn off as a failed experiment and turn my back on everything associated with it.
