That's the phrase that keeps repeating in my mind. And it brings back memories. And each replay of past events, I then block out emotions and review them coldly. I've been doing that for the past week. It's odd. Since the new year started, I've been an automaton.
In a way it's just as well it's so. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going out of my way to interact with anyone at all. I wonder if this is the break that I was looking for. A break from the demands and expectations of other people...
As far as I'm concerned, it's high time I reconsolidate my assets and resources and gear them towards what's important. In the short term I've suffered a setback. But as soon as I stop feel anything, as soon as I stop feeling resentment and contempt, then maybe I'm fit to be with other people again. But for now... I stand alone. And even if I'm back to being sociable, it won't be the same person they knew.
