Wow! What a delightful surprise.

Lead a life you need no escape from.

You have to chose no.

Weirdly (and this isn’t the first summer feeling this) i feel a combination guilt and obligation.

Guilt for being here for multiple months the past five years. Guilt for scoring multiple weeks in the Chalets – a difficult accomplishment and rare, prized treat.

Obligation to live life on my terms. Obligation to do no harm to anyone or any thing.

Saying ‘no’ to guilt and yes to obligation.
