Fried Brains and Wondering Who’s Sane
Go easy, it’s a crazy world out there. Also, an update on life right now.
I’m writing this post because I literally have no idea what to write and I feel too tired and drained to do anything else. I loathe not posting something so I’m at a point where anything will do just to keep the continuity going.
I’m not here to tell you who’s who and what’s what when I hardly know that for myself. I’m here to say that if you’re feeling a bit crazy and you’re wondering if you’re on your head or your arse that I know exactly how you feel.
The last few weeks have been BLOODY CRAZY!!!!!! I’ve been feeling unwell on and off and completely drained of energy, far more than normal. Depending on how you look at it you could say that doctors are either thorough, slow, or both, I’ll let you decide that one. I don’t particularly enjoy going to the doctors anyway. Somewhere between treating you like a machine and like you’re lying it makes for an uncomfortable time. All that being said doctors do have their uses.
Recently my boyfriend and I have taken to paddling in the river a few minutes’ walk from where I live. Hopefully I’ll work up the courage to swim in it while it’s lovely and hot too. Don’t underestimate the cleansing effect of water, especially salt water.
People, it’s a crazy world out there. I don’t think anyone means for it to be that way but between us we’ve all done a fine job at making it so unfortunately. Do I think it’s possible to be sane in such a world? Maybe, but I imagine many of us don’t feel that way. Between dodgy planets, solar flares, mean politicians, nasty corporations, violent television, depressing news, and pressure to be something, anything, so long as it fits in with the narrative, I think it’s normal to feel somewhat frazzled to say the least.
I have a couple of posts scheduled after this, but I’ll see where I go after that. As of this post coming out I would’ve finished a 6-day meditation retreat the day before which I will write about but otherwise I’m in awe at just how uninspired I am by everything right now. Hopefully this retreat will inspire me somewhat. It’s being led by Ajahn Brahm who is a hero of mine and whose retreats I’ve wanted to attend for the last nine years now. I’m finally doing it!!! That aside, all I want to do is sleep and enjoy the sun in snippets so as to not burn. I burn far too easily…
This is the point where I will love you and leave you. Take it easy and take care.
Love,

If you’re feeling more inspired than I am and would like to help kick start me again then please consider donating to me on Buy Me A Coffee on the link below. A little motivation would really go a long way right now… Oh, and thank you.
Enjoy the retreat!!
I hope you manage to swim!
