Rewriting gives you a chance to make amends, offering you that smoochy smoochy feeling, and leaves you with the impression after a night out with yourself that you are actually jolly good company after all.
There is a certain awkwardness about writing that rewriting sands over and smooths down, this new window of opportunity to say things, to look over a word, a sentence, and ask yourself: can I really say this?
Rewriting allows you to look at the final paragraphs and that full stop that saw the ending of pain and perceive the calling it quits as coming natural to you. There is a simplicity in that that is actually outstanding. There's no feeling of looking over the void, hanging on the verge of the cliff with bare feet, your bleeding toes and blistering open wounds bitten by the razor-like wind.
(Note to self: To look over this tomorrow)
