To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for your inner state at any given moment. That means now. – Eckhart Tolle.

If you are reading this and you know me, it will be for one of two possible reasons: you are a friend who I trust enough to reveal my inner workings to; or, you are my lover and I feel it is around that time you really need to understand the way in which my mind operates. Make note that only the latter group will really be affected by my peculiarities; the former will not think it true of me (they rarely if ever experience my ‘other side’). I did not decide this, nor would I ever actively decide on anything that involves the detriment to another’s well-being.

It is quite possible that the road we are/were travelling down is/was tough; stormy, and inspiring intense feelings of confusion, sadness, frustration, or resentment. But you know it as well as I do that there is more to it than that. All the love, adoration, appreciation, joy, laughter. The good times. I am sure you will agree there are or were many, right? And that is why you are here, reading this, and I am pouring my soul into making myself more understandable to you.

I will at times be light-hearted and from time to time I will post funny anecdotes that will eventually relate back to “the way I am”. This is to develop your sense of who I actually am, what is important to me, what is or is not the ‘real me’, and so on.
