Meant to write about this earlier in the week.....
Apparently the people of Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world, saw the sunrise last weekend for the first time since October.....I salute them for their steadfast resolve through the long dark winter, providing me with an excellent metaphor .....I also feel the darkness is lifting somewhat after months of losing myself in what felt like a stygian hell. I would love to visit the archipeligo,looking at a picture it is a magickal place, the prism colours of light reflected in the snow, the sloping white horizon....and I always wanted to see the northern lights from up there.....
Whilst swimming today, realised that this is the longest period of celibacy I have had in 19 years. Not funny.
No solutions spring to mind though as my attitudes have changed since those days. Not interested in casual, recreational sex anymore as rather difficult when sober. Depressing and generally unsatisfactory. Couldn't handle a relationship now or even in near future. Futile.
Where does one acquire bromide .......?
