It all started more or less this time last year.

I have saved all our correspondence. In a way, that is the reason I never deleted this blog, and I have had plenty of temptations and opportunities to do so.

It is painful to read it all, from the beginning.

From beginning to end. And back again.

I like punishing myself. I am comfortable punishing myself.

I'll stop reading when I get to 'I love you.'

Too much punishment. Even by my standards.
