• Season 7

  

  The last few years, people have been leaving. One after another, a lot of my close friends have been relocating and starting new lives elsewhere. Usually it's to find new job opportunities or to continue education, but in any case, it's very disorienting. It's not like high school where a bunch of people left all at once. You can prepare for that kind of thing because it's an inevitability, but now it's feels different. 

  When one of my good friends leaves, I can feel that our run as a group is starting to end. One of my friends calls this our Season 7, because shows usually start to tail off after seven seasons. Right now we're probably at Season 10, and the series finale is right around the corner. 

  Endre left first.

  Then G.

  Now George.

  Then D will leave next month.

  Followed by Jason. 

  Then me.

  By February of next year, it will only be Jeff left, and the series will be over. Ever since Endre left, things have never been the same, but after this most recent departure by George, I can really feel the end coming. 

  People leaving really isn't the problem. I know they're still alive and happy. The hard thing to deal with is the fact that things will never, ever be the same again. We'll never get this ensemble of people together again under the same circumstances. It will never happen. 

  Because we hit Season 7 a long time ago, and our final episode is just around the corner.
