Sensing Spring…
Got two small moments to share with you after this quick creative update!
Book 4 is in full flow, and dark! I’m loving the tone so far!
I’ll be adding to Well-Being Roulette with additional info. I’ve already put in brackets (next to the song title) what the song is about. Pretty soon at the end of the song’s, I’ll have references to what real life songs inspired each one.
I’ll be buying a camera and ringlight for my bday, so I can start doing the in-camera videos for YouTube again!
Lots going on! Anyway, here’s what’s happened recently:
First, I’ve recently spoke on livestream with one of my favourite YouTubers, The Critical Drinker. It was a Patreon exclusive, but I’ll still take that! Both times were about 15 minutes, and it was pretty baller! The guy is really chill and down to earth, and I even had the viewers and chat laughing a few times. Got pretty popular among the crowd! But yeah, it was good fun, got to ask a few writing questions and movie opinions… has been a real good start to the year, and for some tips on how to start my PC set up when I get my own place.
Second… I’ll have to break this down for you. Basically, on one day off a week, I go to a new restaurant in Redhill. I grab lunch and a smoothie. It’s a nice way to get out, and get used to actually living by myself, plus I’m planning to try all the items on the menu (the chicken/chorizo flatbread is banging). Anyway, I’ve got to know some of the staff over the last month or two, and was enjoying a burrito when one of the servers came up to me and asked me out. Now, this was nice… issue though, she’s at college 😂. I had to explain that I’m nearly 39, and it took her by shock. She started apologising and I tried to make the lightest of the situation, saying I felt complemented that I look that young. We had a bit of a laugh about. Even the guys behind the bar were shocked to hear my age!
Now, this was all good, but I noticed something when she asked me out. I got angry, like irrationally. For a split second, I didn’t see this young woman who was interested in me. I saw someone who wanted whatever from me, and someone who was trying to benefit from me. A literal barrier went up in my mind and shut her out. Fortunately, I had the ‘age’ thing to make turning her down lighter.
It was good though, and I reminder I don’t need to go on Tinder or any shit like that!
My efforts need to be reserved for me though, including decorating and getting my own place.
I’m getting so much more done now, and don’t have the extra baggage of wasting my time on someone.
I’m going to leave you with a quote that’s had me in hysterics for a while:

Big love for reading.
Wish you all the best.
