I dont have a routine to step back into unlike many others.<br \/>\nI cant get off the starting line and I have tried all the usual tricks but nothings worked. Even for an old cynic like me that&#8217;s been a shock.&nbsp;<br \/>\nMy mind is wandering the halls of memories and replaying all sorts of things. Perhaps its simply due to a lack of novelty or fresh input generally? Conversations we cannot have now with absent friends and what we might have said are in the mix as well. Replaying endlessly. I do hope these feelings go away but for the last 6 months they have remained constant and seemingly immutable.&nbsp;<br \/>\nAm I selfish to miss my old friends so much? Maybe but I do.
