Just Last Night

I notice, once again, that company that’s not the right fit for you is so much lonelier than being happily alone.

I ponder how many mistakes in life are born of a simple fear of being rude.

“Do you think any video taken on holiday ever gets watched?” I whisper to Fin. “People will film anything. How does it work, do you go home and then on a boring Tuesday say: get the beers, let’s watch three minutes of shaky footage of the Royal Mile? Or do they subject friends and family to it?”

This is so real lol
