Loss

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. I find it quite easy to move on in life, I enjoy new experiences. The only thing that I find very hard to move on from is the loss of a loved one or pet. I include friends as loved ones. That’s atContinueContinue reading “Loss”

The Art of Frustration

Writing is sometimes liking pulling your own teeth out even though there’s nothing wrong with them. It’s a battle between the human mind, an idea, and the keyboard. Why is it that the keyboard can’t convey the emotion I’m feeling at the moment of writing? Stupid thing. It’s a battle of wits that only ceasesContinueContinue reading “The Art of Frustration”

The Person I Really Am

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? I thought about anyone else but I couldn’t come to with one person I would want to be. This is me as the song says. It’s who I want to be. I would like though to be able to goContinueContinue reading “The Person I Really Am”

I’m Sorry What?

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. I hate DIY. I can barely be bothered to decorate the house. I have times when I really feel like doing it and maximise them as much as I can. The last time I did three rooms in a month. But that feeling only arrivesContinueContinue reading “I’m Sorry What?”

I Have no Idea

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? War is a bad word, but two words put together ‘stop war’ are good. If you banned the word war you’d only get conflict, or special operation. Or even ‘you made me do it even though I started it’.ContinueContinue reading “I Have no Idea”

What’s a Challenge?

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? One person’s challenge is another person’s area of complete disinterest. What makes one person feel challenged another person may not even notice. My challenge For 40 years I fought acute anxiety that was enough. As a result I like a quiet steadyContinueContinue reading “What’s a Challenge?”

You Are NOT Your Parents

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I was raised in a family so certain that they were right that it took me a long time to discover just how wrong they were. I had to step out of line so far that I was thrown out of the family by my ownContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Parents”

Unprompted

Every morning I leap straight onto my App, ready to practice my writing skills on a random question. Yet several times recently I’ve awoken to discover that I’ve already answered the prompt. If I didn’t always switch my phone off at night I’d be rather concerned that I was sleep writing! Okay, so in aContinueContinue reading “Unprompted”

Prejudice is Stupid

Up on the shelf – just got caught! I’m not a prejudiced person. Your skin colour will never determine whether or not I like you. I’m not that stupid. I seriously can’t believe looking at skin colour and making a decision. Although in fairness colour is key for a car, but I don’t hate theContinueContinue reading “Prejudice is Stupid”

Ermmm

What is your favorite drink? I honestly don’t know. I guess the closest I come is lime flavoured sparkling water, no sugar or sweeteners. I drink some alcohol but nothing stands out. I drink back coffee if I want something hot, the occasional cup of tea, a latte if I’m out. To be honest I’mContinueContinue reading “Ermmm”
