All good things...

[j4]

... must come to an end. So I find myself unfortunately back in the windswept flatlands now after a lovely holiday which I may write about at greater length some day. (Summary: company, food, scenery and weather all excellent.)

Will probably never catch up with LiveJournal, so if anything interesting's happened that I ought to know about, please let me know by email (or comment here).

Mmm. I have a bad habit of not reading things properly when I'm tired.

I'd be surprised if anyone hadn't just wanted to walk away. I don't know how I can say this without sounding pretentious... sometimes I just feel that I'm going to end up hurting everyone I come into contact with, to a greater or lesser degree, and they deserve better; mostly I feel (with the exception of a very few) that I met someone briefly, to do /something/ to make their life better, and once that's done they can carry on without me and I want to just fade away. Hmm. That sounded arrogant. But I know it's held true in a couple of cases.

I've forgotten where I've read it, and it's irritating me now, but it's very simply, "you can't just run away". And I'm fairly sure that if I did just walk away, I'd end up with other, different people to care about, and for the most part, I'm perfectly happy with the ones I have now, and one of the things I enjoy most is just watching the people I care about be happy. So I suppose what I'd like is selective invisibility.
