It is partly autobiographical, yes. You're quite right, I don't believe in pre-ordination either. In many respects, I could perhaps be said to have defied assumption, considering the far from edifying environment in which I live and have lived, and the demographic to which my family and I apparently belong here in Britain. But loneliness is difficult to influence, love even more so (if not impossible altogether - you do not choose to fall in love, nor can you make the other person love you). If you like, it was speaking rather of resignation as a kind of consolation for something which cannot be 'cured'. It is to become accustomed once more to being alone, especially when one was content to be so until love wreaked its havoc.

Time, indeed, is what I'm allowing to do what it can.
But I rather expect it will take a great deal of it. :)
