I guess I've alienated a couple people in my life recently. It's odd, though, because I don't feel any remorse except for the loss of any future benefit they could provide me. Is this because I had only self-interest in mind when interacting with them, or did I alienate them because I felt no connection compelling continued acquaintance? I was, in the physical sense and in a broader sense, very close to some of these people. Still, I can only view this abrupt end as a mere inevitability. I feel confused, but not too much. It seems that it was time to move on.

I feel as if I must now seek some lost innocence, and, in the stead of penance, atone through ignorance. Yeah.
