Here Goes Something...

As I sit here in the early hours of a Wednesday, with my coffee in a teacup, I start to reflect on all things ‘unachieved.’ Not because I was unsuccessful in doing them, but because I haven’t done them at all. That’s not to say that I lack the utmost intentions of achieving and completing them at some point in my life - I just...haven’t even started...yet.

I’m not entirely sure where to start.

So, this post could be counted as my first little hop and jump of faith into the unknown.

Writing a blog - a desire I have twiddled with for several years. A task I have started several times, to be completely honest.

I’m sure many of us can relate to how these metaphorical craters in our craniums consume us. Those magnificently creative ideas that we have held so dearly for so long, yet only plan on developing them tomorrow’s tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow’s tomorrow, and so on and so forth.

When does that continuation ever come to an end?

Now.

That is the only answer that can be true.

Now is the time. For these things have to be grabbed with both hands whilst they’re still within our reach. Though, as I understand all too well, that it’s not always quite as simple as it is put.

Alas, you can’t physically grab an imagination and project it for the world to see.

It requires a certain skill and an amount of self-discipline to bring ideas to life.

However, I feel that just by starting this blog, I have already turned the key to unlock the giant gates which guard, not only my mind, but also, my future.

Now I just need the strength to push them open.

I am fortunate enough to be in a position where time is a friend.

Only, you could say it’s that one friend who doesn’t seem to know when it’s an appropriate time to go home.

It’s funny, though, isn’t it? How we always complain about not having enough time, yet when we are gifted with so much, we haven’t a clue what to do with it. So, in consequence, we procrastinate and lounge around, only to feel guilty about our poor choices the next day. Then we ponder on that thought whilst procrastinating and lounging around some more.

I believe that is what is commonly referred to as being well and truly ‘stuck in a rut.'

I’m ever so gracefully clambering and scrambling out of that rut today. There will be no more putting off or pretending for me, and I encourage you to adopt the same attitude.

Follow me as I launch myself into everything I’ve always wanted to do.

No more daydreaming; only day-doing...and potentially night, also.

Who knows where things could lead?

I can’t say for sure, but I can tell you one thing:

This blog is going to evolve and distribute some of the most thrilling and exciting pieces of literature since… well, it will just be really, really good. Promise...?
