Occassionally life can get a little difficult.
Don't get me wrong, I have my health, I'm not suffering in any way, and there are people, all over the world, much, much worse off than me. But they're other people's lives and problems. I can only deal with mine.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I don't deal with it very well.
Something as simple as a cold and too few hours sleep can get the better of a man, no matter how hard he tries.
I've been prone to over worrying before now. Thoughts, spiralling into the darkness. Doing myself no favours at all, even when I can recognise what it is that's happening. Div.
I now have a secret weapon to combat such trying times.
Not so secret actually, for here I am, electronically shouting from the rooftops, so to speak.
For now, I only have to think of your infectious smile, your soft skin, or your warm embrace, and I realise how deeply lucky I am. You can light up my day, with nothing more than a single text. Your kind and thoughtful words transcend distance and make me grin like a buffoon. I have a hard time thinking of anything else but you. Knowing you are there for me, and that you share the same depth of feelings that I have for you amazes me.
You are amazing.
I can feel your love no matter the distance between us and hopefully you can feel the love for you, that eminates from me. Constantly.
I just wanted to say thank you... xxx
This is me...
Well obviously, it's me, I'm typing these words that you're reading. If I was typing as someone else, that'd just be weird, wouldn't it?
Anyway, what I meant to say was, the guy in the photo above, that's me.
I may be recognisable to you, I may not be, even if you know or knew me. You see the thing is, I'm smiling. Now that may seem an odd thing to say, but for quite some time, that smile had gone unseen, buried along with facets of my personality that, on reappearance, I found I quite liked. I won't bore you with the details, I'm looking forwards now, not back. I've reconnected with some old, very good friends of late, both at home and a little further afield, and made some new ones along the way. None moreso, than the woman whom I've entrusted with my heart.
I won't get gushy, it's far too early in the relationship for that.
The blogger/reader relationship, you understand, not my personal relationship. I'm all over the gushy in that respect.
All over it.
Like it's going out of fashion, I tells ya!
So, this is my little space on the interwebs. I'll be pointing at other spaces as we go along, "Oh, look. A thistle". (If you keep reading this, one day, that will make sense, I promise.)
I'll be sharing the things I feel passionately about, be they good or bad, and the shiny things I find on my travels.
Hopefully you'll stick around and I can share them with you. What d'ya say?
