Yes, this took and takes absolutely everything for me to live okay in myself with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and for that I am beyond words in terms of describing just how proud I actually am of myself. But it’s beyond just being all about the mental disorder/illness that is OCD. It is about a number of other undeniably incredible things that I’ve invested myself and my mind in. The scribbles have to come first, I guess. This website, built by my good, good friend Andrew Kingston and logo’d (I really do not care at this stage in proceedings how that should be spelt. I mean, I think I dropped those kinds of literary rules way, way back anyway 😛) by my brother Shane. Abstract Artist extraordinaire ❤️ It means the absolute world to me from start to finish. They both know that too. All of these poem-pieces of mine, an ocean of poems swimming with all of my mind’s best and shoddiest, too, literary plot-lines, let’s call it, and sky-high (inner-)interpretations and story-fed ideas, etc. I’ll always have this and that wasn’t ever an easy thing. Not by the longest shot in the whole wide world actually 😊 Other things, too. Like my family and friends, the one’s who really count, the one’s who stood and still stand by me through thick and thin. They know who they are and they know who I am, from start to finish. Perhaps they maybe even get to know the bones of all of me at that. The running. Oh, how I do indeed love it. It gives me peace/piece of mind, it gives me the ability to breathe extremely well and for me to feel… like the real me as well as I can get to with this particular disorder. The eagerness of attitude and personality to always, ALWAYS learn and always, ALWAYS be as kind as someone else might deserve. I observe that. More than even I can ever get to realise, maybe. I know what is important in my own outlook and I will follow that til the end 😊 Also, the… willingness to never stop, to never, EVER drop my motivation in terms of being clear-minded amidst all of the disorder that happens and what it does to my mind. I got this. And even when I don’t feel like I’ve got things together in a mental instance, I really think and know deep down that, in fact, I still do have it 😊 Ruadh’s new ‘boxing gloves’ look amazing. What a spectacular job by Anna Roycroft 👏 Can’t wait til he fits into them properly ❤️ And why am I perhaps so damn giddy this morning? Well… because I work for all of it, every single day, week, month, year, and I will NEVER not be thankful for that ✌️
