Angel! If there was a place we didn’t know of,-Rilke
And there, on some unsayable carpet,
Lovers displayed;what they could never bring to mastery here-
The bold exploits of their high-flying hearts,
Their towers of pleasure,
Their ladders that have long been standing where there was no ground
Leaning just on each other, trembling;
-And could master all this, before surrounding spectators
The innumerable soundless dead;
Would these, then, throw down their final, forever saved-up,
Forever hidden, unknown to us,
Eternally valid, coins of happiness
Before the at last, genuinely smiling pair on the gratified carpet?
Need time on my own.
How does one ever explain this without making
other people feel bad for being alive?
Its not as easy as escaping the house
a walk alone;
Its about having the time to let my mind wander
unencumbered by 'duties' or 'feeling obliged'
Its also straying from the normal routine
that has my hackles raised.
Half considering not going to Worchester for the
weekend.

Don't feel oblige doing things because although you don't mind, it is the 'right' thing to do! You will always wonder what ifs...especially when people question your actions and/or you are still miserable.
Worcester(shire) is nice - so I've been told. But if you don't go and looking for company/fancy Japanese for lunch, give me a shout few hrs in advance (so I don't scoff myself already). If not, just take it easy and relax. :)
