The title says it all, really - I'm much more chilled than I was earlier, perhaps helped by a moderate dose of alcohol, but I'm back into the quo vadis mode I've spent much of the recent past inhabiting. Even a year and a half after the fracture that ended my old life, I still don't know what I want to do, or even where I want to do it. A little exchange with my boss at work this morning illuminates my present situation - he asked me how I was, and I made an ironic comment about being delighted to be at work. In equally lighthearted vein, he asked me what else I would be doing if I wasn't there, to which I gave the telling reply - 'I'm still trying to work that out'. One day, I feel like I should stay where I am, maybe to give my daughter the chance to come up to London, as she's indicated she'd like to do, for her further education, the next I feel desperate to go back to Cornwall, while the next I feel like running away to much further-flung, sunnier climes, which, in my case, would probably mean Gran Canaria. Wherever I go, though, the elephant in the room will be around relationships - knowing that what I really want is almost certainly unobtainable, can I bring myself to try for another 'second-best', given how disastrously the last one ended? Another unanswerable question, or so it seems.
Love & best wishes to all

I think just finding some friends would help a lot, Sammy. Some folks that weren't work related to be around. Gay, straight, purple, whatever...
ReplyDeleteI take it you haven't been offered the position in Cornwall, and it seems your daughter may well come north for uni, so perhaps staying the course a bit longer, and looking for second best - which isn't always a bad thing - would be a decent idea.

Hello Jay
DeleteKnowing my propensity for inertia, I'll probably ending up by staying where I am, geographically and in terms of personal interactions, until some huge impetus propels me in a different direction. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure, as the old joke has it.
Love & best wishes
