Run away before you crack, you mean. Before the pressure's too much. I get that. People will be like 'just take a vacation', but you can't really... you know, do that. It's not a real option.

That's it exactly. If I could take a real vacation away from it all, I would. But I can't life won't let me do that. Too many obligations.

How about you? Ever just feel the need to get away from it all?

Click to expand...

Not me, no. Not recently, anyway. I did once before, back when things were bad, but I felt like I couldn't just abandon the people I cared about. Now its different for me. I feel like I'm just getting back to the life i should have had. I don't want to go away anymore.

I guess I want to be able to enjoy the time I have.

The time you have? Sounds ominous?

Oh. I'm not dying or anything. I'm just a human on the island. I've only got so many years ahead of me, and then I'll die. A lot of my friends are immortal, or at least have extended lifespans. It's a different sort of mindset, I guess.

Oh, yes! I do sort of know what you mean now. I am a witch, and I do live longer than a normal human, but my boyfriend will most certainly outlive me, and so will my all my children since they all have extended lives or are immortals.

I guess if I am honest, I try not to think about that too much.

Click to expand...

I try not to either. But every so often it gets brought up. Like, everyone's thinking about careers and degrees and you have a lot of people saying 'oh, well I have time', and I can't help but think 'but I don't'.

The person I'm dating is like that. They'll probably live forever. I guess it makes it hard to think about the future.

Click to expand...

I find it best not to think about that too much. If I did I'd be forever worrying about - well you already know, I imagine, and I don't want to go into the gloomier "what ifs" of life.

Click to expand...

Well, I should go soon. I have to make dinner and see if anyone needs help with homework. Was there anything else you wanted to talk about? I still have time, if you do

Click to expand...

No, I think that's it. I have a lot of secrets, but a lot of them aren't my secrets to tell.

Click to expand...

I don't want to be one of those people who shares the secrets of others, really.

Click to expand...

Hopefully everything's okay iwth you. Thanks for talking.
