I unfollowed Helen today but I had once, in Germany, or maybe Austria, told her things I had told no one before, tumbled with her down endless chutes of adventure, and promised her in tears that our goodbye wouldn’t be the last. I don’t speak German, though, so I can’t understand what she posts, and really it’s been long enough.
