There's a really good chance I wouldn't have posted here again had I not logged into my old e-mail address on a whim and spotted that two people had taken the time to respond to the entries that I posted here of late. Many, many thanks to you both, there's nothing quite like the generosity of strangers at the darker moments in one's life. However, ( Read more... )

It's now Sunday. Just a few short hours away from it being a full week since she broke up with me. Our two year anniversary was next month (and she did say Monday that she wants us to keep that date as our anniversary moving forward which I took as a good sign). It's still hard not being able to hear her or even communicate through text. I didn't ( Read more... )

It's been a long time again and this time round I make no promises as to how long I will return for. I just need to write right now and this is a place I can do that. My life was pretty much perfect when last I wrote and only got better in the interim. I got promoted at work (Store Manager FTW!) and continued to have a perfect relationship with the ( Read more... )

Let's try this thing yet again shall we? Another lengthy hiatus that probably would allow you to assume that all sorts of interesting changes have occured... in reality though ( Read more... )

You may be wondering where I've vanished to this last month or so. Over here - http://worldcupdar10.livejournal.com to chronicle the World Cup. Has taken a lot out of me actually. Daily posting and what not. I doubt I'll be bringing that sort of energy over here anytime soon. Hmm.... 'Anytime Soon' would be a great name for a band/album.

The beautiful weather may be responsible. Then again so may a girl from Chicago. Or Rockstar Game's newest addition to their canon. It's not likely the turgid state of pro wrestling at the moment (apologies to CM Punk, The Miz, Chris Jericho, Daniels and Randy Orton who are blameless). Whatever the cause however Dar remains in a beautiful place.  ( Read more... )

The past shapes us. It leaves a mark on us all. Some visible, some buried far beneath the surface. Either way while I agree that we shouldn't dwell on the past it has led us to where we stand today for better, for worse and quite often for both all at once. And sometimes you look back at the good stuff and wish that it had lasted forever and ( Read more... )

Ever since I was old enough to live vicariously through my writing I've found that I write less when I'm happy. In some ways I have always considered this a cause for some disappointment but, equally, it make sense. When the real world and I are getting on well I spend considerably less time, in my head, 'away' from my reality. I spend less time ( Read more... )

One of my best friends was recently uncovered as telling lies for months, pretending that we still on his course when in actuality he'd dropped out AGES ago. I spoke quite harshly to him, gave him a hug and now we struggle through the wreckage that is our new situation where I can't trust him ( Read more... )

We never stop learning. About people. About life. About ourselves. Our situations are fluid and we can adapt to them. We can reach a point in life where things are good, even very good, and the bumps in the road don't even slow you down as much as you might expect. And even when you get lost and find your life leading you in a direction which is ( Read more... )
