I know I know, before you even start I realise I’ve been MIA for the past god knows how long.
It’s with good reason.
Many major milestones (both good and bad) have been experienced since we last spoke.
For instance, my brother got married. It was an emotionally charged day, full of love and happiness but also tough, due to our own father not being there.
I travelled. Since we last spoke I’ve done some travelling around Ireland and taken a hiatus to the Italian alps, where me and my fiancé rented a Campervan and travelled, hiked and camped our way around the dolomites for two weeks.We also visited Tenerife for a cheeky few days where we did nothing! Kicked back in the sun and enjoyed just being together.
We lost our family pet since we last spoke also. Skylar was our baby for 13yrs. She helped me through some very dark times in my life and would always listen to me complain when it was just me and her in my life.
I’ve also experienced one of the worst set backs of my professional career since we last spoke. I had many many (5 to be exact) interviews with the same company for a position I felt I was perfect for. Which I knew I was perfect for. Even the recruitment lead for Europe agreed, my future boss to be agreed but at the last post I was pipped. Pipped by someone who has been left go by Meta who needed a job and “knew someone”. So to say this was a bitter pill to swallow would be a fucking understatement.
Going back to a job I had one foot out of was even tougher.
Alas, we are still here, still keeping my head down and attacking everyday as best as I can.
Being brutally honest I needed a break from writing also. This shit isn’t easy. I was never much of a story teller or writer so when I say I got burnt out quick, I mean it.
I felt I was repeating myself and had nothing of value to give you the reader so I said “fuck it” and didn’t write anything. I fell into that trap (something I hope to write about soon)
With all this being said, I’m back.
I’m back with a fucking bang to shake all of you awake to the harsh truths of life, the happiness that can be found in the mundane and how we can all say fuck you to mediocrity, depression and anxiety to create a better more successful and content version of ourselves!
Before I go tho.. I really hope you’ve been drinking your damn coffee 😏
You’ll be hearing from me soon motherfuckers.
Peace 👋🏻
