Write a book they said???

*long winded ramble*

Write a book they keep telling me!

What would I write a book about? How do you write a book? Why would anyone read it? What would I call it?

I just like to fill the 21 hours a day I'm awake thinking of all sorts from toilet etiquette to nuclear power and the power of the purple snack. I like to waffle and ramble about absolutely nothing so what would be the basis for my undoubted best seller?

Send all ideas on a postcards to me please.

I suppose I've been fortunate in my 38 years of  relatively good health to have gained a massive amount of life experience through travel and also through never pre-judging or looking down on people. This may seem like a small thing but not looking down on someone and trying to understand difficult people is probably my favourite thing.


I love listening to others and love hearing about their lives no matter how good or bad the experience of same. People and their lives and the decisions they make just intrigue me to the point of addiction.One of the addictions to Facebook was being able to see and hear from people everyday that I wouldn't normally so it fed my people addiction along with sheer joy in seeing their lives unfold everyday and share in it.


The same point was also the reason for me deciding to quit Facebook for a while and to physically connect from a social point of view rather than a virtual one. I just simply spent far to much time on it. Morning noon and night I was/am a slave to social media. I decided I'd write more but I'm suffering from Facebook withdrawals and feel like my immediate audience is lost forever. I also find that liberating to know I'm hitting these keys for nobody else but me. That feels good as well.

As for what ill write a book about I'm afraid I have no idea. I'll do some soul searching!

What do I believe in? What am I passionate about? I haven't even the smallest idea of the answer. I am the most opinionated person on the planet but that's just it.....It's just opinion and never personal. I don't feel strongly enough about anything.

 All I believe in is right and wrong and what's fair and what is not fair. I believe in love and family and friends but that's about it. I believe in always trying to see the good in people no matter how others perceive them or judge them. I believe in never hurting others and being kind and nice. I believe in helping people less fortunate and just helping in general. I believe in sympathy and empathy. I believe in happiness and positivity. I believe in the good and the brave. I believe in not taking life or people for granted!

Looks like I believe in a lot more than I though but I still have no idea what id write a book about???

Is there anybody even reading this? I'd doubt it but sure I'm reading and writing it anyway.

I just wish I believed in me though.....

Social media suicide.

*long winded ramble*


I'm committing social media suicide slowly but surely. I have become addicted to Facebook in particular and I can't justify the time I spend on it versus things I could be doing otherwise with that time, particularly writing.

Over the coming weeks I will one by one try to get rid of twitter, snap chat, instagram and whatever else I have. This is the only place I will vent. This is the only place I will give my opinion. It is refreshing to know that I will just be typing for the love of it even though that's all I was doing anyway. It is refreshing to know that this will be my writing space.


I will hugely miss parts of Facebook but I could no longer tell whether or not the good outweighed the bad on there or if indeed it was as good as it was bad for me personally. I am 100% sure however I need the break. It fuels my insomnia and races my thoughts even further. As a deeply insecure person who need badly to work on his own self esteem and his own pride I will use this place to grow again and be strong where I am weak.

I apologise in advance for my poor grammar and spelling but will not let it hold me back in the future.I'll see you in the trenches. I'm not even sure if anybody will read this but it's fabulous relief to not care.
