June 27, 2014. My mum and Granny still try to run after me and on occasion they succeed. Mid all the traffic of the ways,. Turmoils without, within,. Make in my heart a quiet place. And come and dwell therein. A little shrine of quietness,. All sacred to thyself,. Where Thou shalt all my soul possess,. And I may find myself. A little shelter from life’s stress,. Where I may lay me prone,. And bare my soul in loneliness,. And know as I am known. Let me go…. Sweatbox of solitude… →. Enter your comment here.

The end is nigh…. August 25, 2014. August 25, 2014. I’m reading a book at the minute. (Yes I can read thank you). A book by Max Lucado called “You’ll get through this”. I was recommended it and even within that first page, I found motivation to keep going. It said this:. 8220;You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick.

Let me go…. May 11, 2014. No one says ‘I do’ on their wedding day then sits back and prepares for the divorce. Least I would hope not. I certainly didn’t. I had absolutely no doubt in my mind that when I said ‘I do’ that it was forever. Sadly though, it wasn’t to be. So, where now? Being on the “scrapheap”, with turning 30 only over the hill, at this point in the story I should just buy a cat right? Hmmm, not really my style. Let’s start a new story instead. Once upon a time….

Drama queens speech…. January 6, 2015. January 7, 2015. 8220;It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” – Sage Francis. I’m aware the above quote is also from a Charles Dickens Novel, but if I told you I had read it, you’d never believe it. But whether it be the song lyric by a hip hop American artist or the opening sentence from a Dickens novel you associate it, either way it sums up perfectly in one line what 2014 was for me. Absolutely. Have I learned anything from the whole situation? Notif...

Wrong Essex is almost on par with Melbourne for me. I love the place, the sights, the smells, the people. It’s just a really cool place to be. However, as much as i am settled there, I want to set roots down there and plan to be there for many years to come, it’s not what fuels my soul. Next up, the wedding. Sweatbox of solitude….

I am a Son. I’m a Brother. I’m a very proud Uncle. I love Aberdeen FC and West Ham FC. I’m a keen Golfer. Avid keep fit believer. I’m a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and I use this space to explore my own thoughts, struggles, frustrations and reflections. I struggle at times to vocally express accurately what I want to say or work on and I’ve found writing is a good alternative. Sometimes the stuff I write makes sense and other times it doesn’t.
