To commemorate this first post, both my room and my mind have been tidied in preparation. Not exactly a monumental day, considerably more of the "mental" than the "monu" but here I am now relaxing and listening to the incredibly soothing music of First Aid Kid, one of the singers of which someone said I looked like the other day, completely off topic. The fragrance of rose incense sticks has got to the stage where it isn't too overwhelming and I can just smell them enough for it to be pleasant and the thought occurred to me that this is definitely a good atmosphere to start my scribblings in.
Anyhow I needed to start writing again and this is the idea I came up with! Inspiring people not only make me feel joy but also a certain kind of awe and the discovery of amazing challenges that they've somehow achieved, some at a standard that I find it difficult to fathom, which either highlights my lack of belief in humankind (sad, I know) or my naivety, though which, I am unsure.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...
