Years usually put a thick coat of dust on one's memories. Maybe more gilt than dust. We remember things to be a lot better than they actually were. But then you go back to their origin and the gilt and dust is all stripped clean. The confrontation with truth is not always pleasant, but it's real. And then all the reasons are revalidated.

The reasons for leaving and the reasons for coming back again and again. 

This was an eye-opener of a trip and am still putting it down in words.. watch this space.
