Re-living the Past?
Today, I chanced upon a diary that I had kept from May 1st 1995 till May 5th 1996.
I was a little surprised at how much insight I had into human nature and my own psyche even way back then.
Reading the entries also made me relive that period as if the ink was just drying on the paper of that skinny notepad.
Little did I realise when I made those entries how much my life would change for the worse since then,entering a terrible wilderness for the latter half of 1997, being virtually bankrupted in 1999,enduring a generally unhappy employment from 2002 to last year,and experiencing steady, but rather uneven success with my own 'business' as a home tutor thus far in 2009.
It shocks me slightly that I still share many of the feelings that I had penned down a decade-and-a-half ago.
Also, it seems that the same bugbears are affecting me now as they were affecting me then.
