Gone away

[glenatron]

Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly tired and melancholy I listen to the song Bold Riley, which reminds me of the Halfpenny folk club and happy days.

It doesn't help, except that it gives the sadness a richness and a flavour of dark winter and friends who I see too little and miss too much. Work is weighing heavily on me right now and although I know that thirty is just a number I can feel it's looming presence at my shoulder and I am afraid of the judgement it will cast on my life and my achievements, or the judgement I will cast on my own life and achievements when I reach that milestone. There are yoghurts in the fridge that will outlast my twenties.

Judgements

[(Anonymous)]

Neither you or your age can cast any judgement on your acheivements thus far. If you must be introspective about it then use the milestone to decide what you want to do by the next milestone, not apply some arbitrary critique to what you've done so far.

Don't be so sure about the yoghurt.
