THE RESIGNATION LETTER THAT LIVED IN DRAFTS

Most jobs contain an invisible resignation letter somewhere between fantasy and contingency.

A letter on the floor beside an instrument case, drawn in ink
This visual

It was written on a bad evening and edited on several good ones, which is how you know it was never really about leaving.

It sat in drafts doing useful work: a small private exit, proof that the door existed even while you stayed.

Some letters are not meant to be sent. They are meant to be kept.

This one is deliberately unfinished. What's still sitting in your drafts? The good lines get built into the longer piece.
