I finally completed the notorious page 5 today. I had to fill in every address, work activity and occupation otherwise for the last ten years. A very tedious, drawn out process when it is me.
I found it extremely stressful just looking back at some of my best and worst years and reliving every place I had gone to, both in triumph or defeat. A lot of sadness too. Did you know one of my best friends stopped talking to me? I know it happens to everyone, but I spent all those years with her, I loved her very much, and the silence is painful. I cannot look at my youth without regret. But I also know that distance makes you idealise.
Ah well. We grow older and we forget. Here is another portrait I did.
