Emotionally, I wanted to stay. Intellectually, I wanted to leave. As always, I seemed to enjoy punishing myself.

“The fear of becoming old is born of the recognition that one is not living now the life that one wishes. It is equivalent to a sense of abusing the present.”

Superficial to understand the journal as just a receptacle for one’s private, secret thoughts—like a confidante who is deaf, dumb, and illiterate. In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could do to any person; I create myself.
Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963 (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; October 27, 2009)

If it's meant to be then it will be, so I met him there and told him, "I believe", singing "if it's meant to be then it will be", I forgive it all as it comes back to me.
