Hello, it’s me, Amy Sea. I wanted to bid you all farewell because I had to cancel my membership.

I did not mean to.

I was trying to join the Friend Program and they told me I had to quit my membership if I was using PayPal and then rejoin after the pay period ended.

My heart, my weak fragile Medium heart is trembling.

I just opened my email and there was a letter from Medium saying “I’m sorry to see you go.”

GO? WHERE THE HECK DID THEY THINK I WAS GOING?

I felt like Juliet after I thought Romeo was dead and no longer blogging.

Had Juliet had been patient and waited until December 7th, the new pay period began, she would have still been alive and writing on Medium today. But nooooo…that Dear Juliet letter from Romeo bidding adieu was too much for her dainty reading glasses.

“I’m not a Medium Member anymore? And, I’m single?!” she screamed.

Then in her confusion, she mixed up Shakepeares plays, drank some poison, and called out “ET TU, BRUTE?” and collapsed on her stone slab placed in the center of a watery Cirque…
