Sorry, I've been AWOL...

So, hello again!

I guess I've been away a while, haven't I?

I never intended to leave, but then again, I never intended to start a blog in the first place.

Alas, it seems that I got out of the habit of using writing to help me process and deal with the trials and tribulations of daily existence.

I found myself not dealing with things, or dealing with things in the wrong way, and it was only when I realised this that I remembered what the sense of calm and joy I found in writing.

I lost the power of my voice, or rather, I allowed someone else to take it from me.

I allowed someone to make me believe I had no voice and no power at all. So I've not been speaking my truth for quite a while. I've forgotten the power and potential of words, and how they help give meaning to life.

But I'm back.

And I'm sorry it's been a while.

But I'm intending to stick around for the foreseeable.

And if you're reading this, I guess that means that you hung around, or you're back too.

So thank you, that means more to me than I could ever say or you could ever know.

Things might be a little weird whilst I figure out what I'm doing and get back into the habit of expressing myself through words.

In the meantime, let's figure it out together.

Thanks for reading, over and out...

Too much

I would lie on burning coals, scorch my soul, if it spared your feet from the heat. I'd devote my hectic days, and sleepless nights, to making yours just a little brighter. I would give my every cent, happily spent, to make you smile for a while. All I ask in return is to always feel beautiful, wanted, treasured, and adored. To know, without a single doubt, that I'm yours. Your one and only, now and always. So tell me, honestly, am I asking for too much?

Sinking Ships

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this sinking ship? Because I'm exhausted. I've given my all to bailing out these frigid waters, fighting against the relentless surge. I waste every breath, every thought, every effort, to confining an endless tide. I cannot stop. But I'll drown out here, cold and alone, if I don't pause, find the source and fix this broken vessel. So teach me how to plug the gap before it kills me.

Chasing Sunset

Tonight, for whatever reason, I found myself pondering what the hell I was doing... In life, in love, in my job, my personal aspirations, my family and my friends. I wasn't necessarily worrying, or spiralling, or caught up in a depressive mentality. Alas, I was simply contemplating where I was right now, and what was next for me. Whether I was on the right path, where it would lead, and when I would get there. I was too focused on my feet, on where my journey was taking me, that I temporarily forgot. I forgot to enjoy exactly where I was right now, no matter where I was going or where I had been. But thankfully, life sent me a little reminder. As I passed the upstairs window, consumed by my own thoughts, I was met by the most beautiful sunset I had seen in a long time. The sky was on fire, and it sparked a fire in me. Instantly, I knew that I wanted to seize this moment. Without a second thought, I grabbed my keys and jumped into the car. And so began my journey to chase the sunset...
