To inscribe a person's name on the wall of his tomb, to describe his attributes thereupon, is to ensure that he will live forever...Words mean life. The absence of words means death: being forgotten by men for all eternity...Writing, I live; I enter that world beyond the false door of the tomb; my existence continues throughout eternity. I have

This reminds me of the poem inscribed by Yeats on a stone in a tower at Thoor Ballylee:

I the poet William Yeats
With old millboards and
sea-green slates
And smithy work from
the Gort forge
Restored this tower
for my wife George.
And may these characters
remain
When all is ruin once again.

Just seemed to say a similar sort of thing. :)

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry! I did reply, and mentioned that my journal is now sort of back to what it was before, more or less, and wondered if you wanted to do the re-friending thing :-)

I came here following the beautiful comment that you left in heidi's jorunal. I would love to hear more, hear about how you progressed from 20 on, as I feel that I'm planted in a similiar spot as you were.

My situation is slightly different in that I left school at 16 and by the time I was 27 I was working as a typist and seemingly completely stuck both in terms of my 'personal' life and 'career'. Finally I did force myself to do something and I met someone through a personal ad and ended up leaving my job and selling my flat to go and live with him. That probably wasn't a smart thing to do, and I really could kick myself, looking back and examining all the bad choices I made (so many of them!). I feel that there are some people who seem to sail through life, seem to know what they want and do what's necessary to achieve their goals. Other people, though, like me, find everything a bit of a struggle. I can't help but have regrets and wonder how differently my life might have turned out had I made better choices when I was younger :-/

[steeraway]

Ooh, yes please, I love to find new friends :-)

I'm a rather highly-strung writer so we should have lots in common ;-)

just a quick hello... staying away from reading LJ so far today, but I am answering all my mail right now.
glad to know you. "High Strung" has my picture next to it in the dictionary... perhaps we are seperated at birth.
:)
