Don't you dare leave when were being all nice and mushy and spilling our guts to you about how much we LIKE you and APPRECIATE you and your PERSONALITY and your WIT and your KINDNESS.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are a sweet and thoughtful guy Toph. And it sounds like at the mo life is getting you down precisely because you are such a sweet and thoughtful guy with such high expectations of yourself.
It must be really really hard to do the kind of job you do. Where what you do can really make a difference, and likewise where what you cannot do can really make a difference. NOW is the only moment there is, Toph. In being too caught up in the could have beens and the might have beens and the should have beens you miss out on the NOW. And one day the NOW will become one of those could have beens.
So seize the day Toph. Seize the moment. Grab hold of that wife of yours and tell her you love her. Have you managed to hold her hand yet? I remember that discussion from over on social, see? And I learned something.
We haven't grown weary of you Toph.
I will miss you if you go...
