Bio
I'm here to practice my writing and to build a habit of getting words onto the page in a semi-regular fashion. I publish a monthly life update to keep me accountable, other than that expect a mix of fiction and journal-ly type stuff.

Mindful feetTop Story - April 2024
I’m a life-long depressive, but I’ve mostly learned how to live with it. I can recognise when it’s getting worse, I know what helps and what doesn’t. I’ve read all the books and tried all the things and found what works for me. One of the things I tried along the way was mindfulness.

Made it to the Quarter Mark
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. I don’t feel like much happened in March. It went by very quickly. I still spent too much time gaming and not enough time making progress elsewhere. There was a low level of background anxiety building all month.

From Across the Hall
The banging on the door pulls me out of my late morning slumber. I drag myself out of bed and I look through the peephole to see who has the audacity to not go away after I had so stubbornly pretended to not be at home after their first and second round of knocking.

I ran far, I ran long
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. I’m mostly happy with how February went. My main regret is too much time gaming, but I had some good achievements to balance it out.

The 10k diaries
I’ve decided to run a 10k race in February, just under four months away (from the date I started this diary). I’ve never run 10k before. I’ve done 5k once and I felt that was pushing my limits, but I’m going to give it my best and keep a diary of my progress along the way.

I want to call my mum.
It would take me many thousands of words to sufficiently explain my relationship with my mother, so I won’t. Suffice to say, for the last few years of her life I would visit her for an hour or two every month or so and that was pretty much the extent of it. An occasional text or call between visits, but that’s it. It was a loving relationship, just very strained by far too many reasons to discuss now, that's possible a story for another time.
