h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've just started the slow move south to the sea. Last week was traumatic
with my very complicated living arrangements unsettling my soul. I have
never felt at home anywhere before London, so leaving her has become a
big thing. It's size, noise and chaos were my playground for so long. So
as I contemplated leaving this old grey city I was full of a mixture of
feelings, my nostalgia is fading though, as the sound of seagulls and the
ever-changing beauty of the sea start to seduce me.

We walked home from a party in Brighton at the weekend along the
seafront, just as the sun was coming up, the sky turned gold and the sea
became quicksilver, it was miraculous. The feeling of freedom and
possibility, and in a very tangible way, of fresh beginnings still glows
in my heart.

I've always thought that you can only see both sides of something clearly in transition between the two.
