Ala,
I didn’t leave because I was angry, and I didn’t leave to go to war.
I left because someone has to prepare for the mud.
There are things that need doing that a Jedi Order can’t touch and shouldn’t be asked to justify. I can do those things without asking you to carry them, and without letting them define what the Order becomes.
I’m not disappearing. I’m not acting alone. And I’m not lost.
Please don’t track me. Not because I don’t trust you, but because you shouldn’t have to own what I’m about to do.
If you ever need me, Jax Thio knows how to reach me. He’s family too. That hasn’t changed.
Most of all, give yourself grace. You didn’t inherit this moment. You stepped into it when no one else would. That matters more than getting every choice right.
And if you ever doubt yourself, ask what my father used to ask us:
"Can you look yourself in the mirror afterward?"
If the answer is yes, then you’re doing fine.
May the Force be with you,
always.
