0804 to Leeds

By ZMT

"What's the most frustrating thing about your condition?"
"I am my own worst enemy sometimes. The nicer people are to you, sometimes it can get really hard. When I'm having a bad day and I just want to do things myself. Nine times out of ten everyone's brilliant though. Actually, I used to live in Scarborough, I moved here just over two years now. I upped and left everything, my family, my friends, everything"
"Why?"
"I had a failed relationship, and I couldn't get over it. I gave myself six months, and every time a year passes or another six months, I'm surprised that I'm still living here."
"So it surprises you?"
"Yeah, because I never thought that I'd settle. I don't go back to Scarborough half as much as I need to. I still have family there, and they'll phone me and ask 'Are you still there?'. It's the best thing I ever did, and I wouldn't change anything. I'm dead lucky 'cos I've got a home life and a lot of people in my condition don't have that - Leeds is my home now."
