Recently I have been pondering a re-occuring number 23 in my life, and all I think this means to me. I then realised while considering the idea of coming a full circle , that I have slowly stopped doing all the things I used to enjoy such as going to Banger racing , Fishing, and going to the Cinema for example, Car Shows down South are a no go nowadays too with a toddler in tow. Your pleasures in life can be slowly eroded away. How has this happened ? Today I do nothing ! This must, and is going to change.
Maybe Fatherhood took its toll , maybe my mystical journey made me forget such simple pleasures, who knows ? What I do know is I am going to return to these simple pleasures again. Its all a battle though when you loose the will to get out of your house, and as you get older you are tired at the end of a day... Yes, Im returning to the many activities and routines in my gave life that gave me pleasure before the cataclysim of the past 5 years.
I also lost several friendships with people who I could tell anything to last year, and now things are looking a little brighter there too ( well I live in hope.) To go for a walk and talk was a real luxury back then. I now realise how much Ive missed these people, and how inward looking Ive become since events carried them away and out of my sphere.
And another thing ; why do women getting together have all the fun ? When was the last time men got together for a banter ? Er , never as we are always working . This must change too !
