The White Noise or Whale Song of Advice
I feel as though I am awful at giving advice. I can formulate my thoughts into written words which may then be perceived as insightful and taken as advice, but it is purely theoretical. If I am approached for advice relating to a certain situation all I can do is ramble on. This may be a largely...

Desperate Not to Disappoint
I like living alone but Im ready for a change. A couple of weeks ago I got a reply to my spare room wanted ad and met two guys and a girl of similar ages looking for another house sharer to move to a new place with. I was pleased, they seemed to like me; stayed and chatted so long they...

Whose Eyes are Open, Who is Blind?
My turn to good fortune means my mood has improved and I've become my old chatty self, and in particular with one guy at work. He's pretty new to the company and we'd really not known much about one another; turns out we have heaps in common. Making friends nearby after loosing all my local ties has meant...

Spontaneity: To Have or to Put on Hold
I have a bi-polaresque view on spontaneity. I love the idea of anything happening and being able to make exciting decisions on the spur of the moment. But on the other hand the thought of something I wasn't expecting to happen suddenly encroaching on my well-rehearsed routine fills me with utter fear. How could I possibly go...

Streamlining and Simplifying
I have found myself on a mission, one that is always present and applies to everyone's lives but one which I am currently particularly adamant to perfect. It is a well known fact that there are not enough hours in the day, it is a constant bugbear that I would like to achieve more; the answer to these issues is to maximise...

Emotional Seesaw
I've spent a great deal of this year in a very familiar and all too predictable cycle. I would know that if I have had 3 or so 'good days' I would be due to spend the next few days falling apart. I knew then also that if I had spent 3 or so days as an emotional wreck, my subconscious would soon...

A Well Brewed Friendship is a Strong One
Today I floated above my own life for a moment and realised the reality. Rarely have I made friends during a time of my life, but instead upon leaving a time of my life. I think of my two best Uni friends and I have no memory of them whatsoever in my first two years (I was...

Touching from a Distance, Too Close to My Heart
After 3-years sat on my bookshelf, I have finally read Touching from a Distance, finishing it on an all-too-close-to-tears train journey back from Watford Junction. For those who are unfamiliar, it is a biography of Joy Division's lead singer, Ian Curtis, written by his widow, Deborah Curtis, following his suicide.
I already knew this story well,...

Sea Air for the Soul
I remember during my first week of University, having just moved to Bournemouth, I spent an afternoon on the top floor of the library reading a book on the history of the town. The thing that stuck most in my mind was the reason for it's being - the health benefits of the pine trees and sea air. I agree...

Blank Canvas of Life
Today I feel as though I got up and ran. I got up on time, got to work on time and got on with it. It's the most together I've been in ages. I want to think it's a new me, but whenever it's happened before I know I run away with myself and tire all too easily.
My ambition is...

Life Laundry and Letting Go
It's been almost 4 months now since I learnt that the love of my life didn't feel the same way. There's been many stages since then, but it's only now reached the one whereby his last remaining possessions are collected from the house and that I am supposed to cease contact. It's tough to realise that so much care has...

Priceless Time at Primrose Hill
Having moved a year ago to Warwickshire for a relationship, which has since been removed and taken with it many of the local friendships I had made, I am now limited to planning my weekends to take me to the places where my friends can be found. This month's financial constraints left my social prospects in tatters; and the thought...
