It's fourish...I think. :) I very often go to places alone too, actually more often than with someone. When I'm
with someone, I go to different places than usually. Still, if there's a new movie
playing I'd like to see, my thoughts aren't "I wonder with whom I'd go", it's "When
do I have time for it?" What you describe as "not depressed-- not exhilarated, somewhere in the middle"
sounds like sweet melancholy to me. I and a long-time friend sometimes take a ride around the places, we go see the
apartment building we used to live as kids, old schools and what I feel is somehow
missing all those things. I keep on wondering would I have ended different if this
and that had been otherwise and so on. I indulge in that feeling for a while and then
get back to they present day. Still, sometimes those memories are very vivid, some pleasant
and some not. It's very much stronger when I get to see the places in central Finland
where my family used to live when I was just a few years old. I can't do anything but
ask myself what would happened if we hadn't moved away from there? What would my life be
like now? What would I be like now? Sometimes my melancholic moods are very deep and they can be triggered by
something very simple, like seeing a building or a place. Reading about the recent
history of places I see almost daily but never have really thought about earlier. When's that departure for Pluto anyway? I wouldn't wanna miss it... Ronnie
