Acceptance
It’s taken thirty two years to reach this next point, where personal narrative finally diverges from a very well-worn path. There’s no fear either, which is a surprise. Maybe that’s because, for the first time in fifty years, understanding isn’t a problem. Running yesterday, it was fun. You know, the stuff the rest of the…

Serotonin
Why are you here again, shouldn’t you have scheduled this for tomorrow? Well, yes, a smart person would stretch their content out a bit but as must now be apparent to most of you, that’s not how this works. If summat needs saying then fuck it, that’s what happens. I’ve destroyed so much confidence and…

Bad to the Bone
Sometimes, you don't need to be right. You just need to be allowed to make the point without being told you're wrong. — 🌊 Alternative Chat 🌊 (@AlternativeChat) February 16, 2017 People don’t like being told they’re wrong.

Stop
Sometimes, it takes a moment of contention to highlight a point. I think what makes me most disappointed is that what some people see as inhibitors others simply assume are infringements. — Gotta Alt Them All (@AlternativeChat) September 3, 2016 Once upon a time, it took weeks for news of disasters to reach a wider…

Sunrise
It occurred to me, driving back from dropping off my daughter at her first day of ‘Big’ School, there’s potentially seven years of this ahead of me. There’s not an ounce of concern or resentment in my body: I’ll run her anywhere, as I would her brother, and the time it takes will enrich my life…
