Dear Joe, It's weird, directing my writing at someone. I've spent so many years, written so many blog posts, directing my writing at nobody specific -- not even myself, at times (more often than perhaps I'd like to admit). Even though, in reality, you are nothing more and nothing less than a name, three letters … Continue reading Dear Joe: 3am Thoughts

Life and death
I'm writing this at school, on a Tuesday afternoon — just another Tuesday afternoon, but not. Earlier this month, a student in my year at school passed away. I didn't know him well, and I'm not pretending to have done so, but it affected me, as it affected so many in my year, whether they … Continue reading Life and death
A Curtain of Paranoia
Often, I am paranoid; I am convinced people are talking about me behind my back, or are being 'false friends' with me -- after all, who wants to upset the blind guy? I suppose it's just part of my nature, which is fine: we're all individuals, and we all feel differently; that's what makes us … Continue reading A Curtain of Paranoia

Problem is, I haven't been home on a Saturday for literally ages, and so have completely lacked the … Continue reading Unfamiliar Familiarity

It's something that I'm all too familiar with, if I'm honest, but I don't mind that in the slightest: I'm always here to help anybody, whenever, wherever, and however I can. Besides, I'm … Continue reading All My Friends
Overdue
And here's the overdue post. The post where I feel self-pity. The post where I'm selfish. The post where I act as if the world's wrongs are solely designed to negatively impact me, and only me. Everywhere I look, people are having a nice, relaxed summer break: some are going on holiday to lovely distinations; … Continue reading Overdue
Thoughts of a Summer Evening
As a general rule, I like to keep myself busy; afte all, doing stuff, after all, provides a distraction from any unwelcome thoughts that may start to creep in. However, there are some evenings when all I want to do is sit and be still, and think, or sing emotional songs, or just be left … Continue reading Thoughts of a Summer Evening
