Meandering

I have just been told how lovely I am. With the person almost in tears. This gets to me because I know it's not really true. It starts me thinking about my life and how many regrets I have as I look back.

My life has meandered along many strange twists and turns and I haven't always behaved that well. But neither has anyone, he said. And this is true. But I do have a lot of regrets and when people say things like that to me it does worry me a little because I know that I haven't always been good.

And I don't like people to think that I have.
