An old friend of mine has just posted a photo on facebook and I can’t believe how much it has affected me making me look at my life. Looking back it was one of the happiest times, when life was still innocent, well to a degree.
I realise I have wasted far too much of my time on waifs and strays, it is time to start reflecting on the good, of which there is plenty and throw all the rubbish out. The perfect picture brought a smile to my face and memories of such happy time so time to find me again and let the vultures alone to feed off each other.

This is brilliant!
You commented on my post about "scary sentiments" and I love that way of putting it. Also, your comment about us looking good now in the future is pretty profound.
However, the beauty of looking back right now is that it is to a time of our teens and twenties when there was endless possibility and we had the "beauty and power" of our youth as Baz eloquently put it.
Will we feel the same looking back in twenty years time at a period when we made our mistakes? When we were tainted by our grown up adventures, and forever altered by others treatment of us and the darker times.
I think the beauty of the looking back this first time is that it reminds us of an innocence maybe, but more importantly a time of freedom and worry free life, albeit that we didn't appreciate it then. The sadness for me is knowing of the possibilities and opportunities that those days represent that I missed or didn't recognise.
Feeling particularly bitter today Shelf and can honestly say they all have a lot to answer for and I am not talking my old narciscist. We are all in an endless cycle and mine is to work out why I keep doing this to myself, I swear it is a constant battle...
I have days like that too.............learning to roll with it all is a long process I haven't got the hang of.
Yes I certainly agree that at there is a lot to answer for.....and some days it seems an overwhelming task to overcome bitterness and feelings of wreaking revenge......The other trick is to remember that you have not and are not doing anything to yourself....it's not your fault at all, but we feel as if it is and that makes me angry too...hahaha the circle goes on as you say but it will all be ok soon cos something good is always round the corner and sometimes a "little moment" from Callum or a simple beauty somewhere will make it good again. (Does that make sense as I talk such bollox at times :o)
