I've made my life worse in the past in the pursuit of the romanticised Hollywood bullshit notion of "closure". I was engaged to a nice girl once... things ended badly, as they will from time to time. I can't say that I understand now why it ended any more than I did at the time. But, rather than just manning up and accepting it, I kept pushing her for a why. Not that I think that we were destined to be great friends following the breakup, but I made her, and certainly myself, suffer as a result.
But quite apart from that... after leaving St Augustines primary way back in 1991, and leaving a disappointingly unfinished saved computer game, I have tonight, thanks to abandonware and a decent dos emulator, finished something that was previously unfinished. And maybe that's the only closure any of us should seek these days....
