Making peace with places

"This was no more the place that could get to me in that way, where I used to be, a place from my past that still made me feel difficult, or awkward, or unhappy; this was just another place, a place where I was, a place I was walking around. This was just the same place, slightly different, where the people were older, and I was no-one. I didn't see anyone I knew; I didn't see anything unusual. This was just nowhere, anywhere, somewhere. "Nothing, like something, happens anywhere." That's how I felt. This was anywhere."

"I was sitting in the car, with the rain falling, the windscreen wipers squeaking across the glass, the engine running, the radio on, and there was just an absence of what there had been. There was an absence of some kind of hostility that I still felt, some kind of resentment, some kind of anger. It had gone."
