"When we initially met, he had told me of his desire to become a physician specializing in infectious disease, specifically so that his skills could be used in those areas most prone to infectious disease, i.e., the underdeveloped world. However, after a trip to Burning Man, he rejected his previous goals as meaningless and bourgeois, and instead decided that a nomadic life of teaching English in the Chinese countryside was truly what he wanted to do."
I've never, ever posted this before, but this letter is a fake. A set-up, a prank designed to see if it would slip under Cary's radar and be published.
Because even in the vast ocean of narcissistic, rich, privileged, whining, navel-gazing, feckless youth that is Since You Asked, these have to be the most nauseatingly precious people on earth.
Burning Man? Seriously?
PS if it was a true story, the reason LW is full of regret is because the boyfriend left her and not the other way around. She didn't get to control the end-game and it's eating at her.
