My past writings generally amaze me. I think, “did I actually write that?” It makes me realize how much my creativity and writing skills have diminished over the last decade. If ever I need a dose of inspiration, wisdom, or advice, I only have to go back and look at my past writings. Whether posts, comments, or emails. Not so much SW, but EP etc.
I don't know if you'll believe it BUT I was cringing when I was writing that old stuff but still wrote it anyhow? What does THAT tell you?
I don't find it pathetic but just bad circumstances and that's all we have to do about that SO GLAD we're not there anymore because (though it seemed it would never end) we were there and now we're not. THE END
