My first experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it.
I admired in others the strength that I lacked myself.
I loved my 17 years with R.E.M. but I'm ready to reflect assess and move on...
All the faith and good will in the world is wasted without direction.
