Yesterday went too soon

I have now spent 20 years in this place. Wow, when i look around, i wonder how i made it this far! I can't help thinking that anyone who makes it this far, must have a fairly good chance of finishing life Ok. I have no knowledge of what's to come, but i doubt there will be many decades as frantic or as difficult as the teens, (and the preteens for the pernickity ones). It seems that most of lifes lessons have been learnt in these ten years. I don't pretend to have reached anything near full maturity, and someone please kick me if that happens anytime while I am still alive! However i think the teens are a big thorny hedge that everyone must be dragged through backwards to get to the other side.

It is also a mini milestone, because I have now spent almost exactly half my life up North. This depresses me slightly, as I mourn my lost accent. The vast rolling hills of urban wasteland, the paradise of urban heat island, the glorious mountains of concrete are no more a part of my life. Of course this is really just a comparison between town and city, however for me it seperates life dan saerf from life uhp ear. Not that i have loooads of happy memories from London. Infact most of the significant things in my life happened up here, and most within the last few years! lol

So yesterday did not go too soon really, just sounded like a nice nostalgic name, albeit nicked from a song.
