There is a different version of me
In each and every one of your heads
Friend, enemy, victim, hero, lover
And I’ve stopped pandering to them all.
I’m nearly fifty, for goodness sake
Yet still I feel the need to seek out your
Approval, or at the very least the
Absense of your snide, sneering derision.
And for what? I am nearly fifty for
Goodness sake. I can approve of myself.
Every single thing we do will either
Cause amusement or cause resentment
So live your truth. Be unabashadly
You. Be as authentically you as you
Can be, for “your vibe will attract your tribe.
Hammer home your truth as hard as you can.

Who knows where this will go, if anywhere at all.
This is now just going to be the blog of a 48 year old GenX cishet fella from the North of Ireland/Northern Ireland/Ulster (I don’t care). I’l l keep the waving my fists at clouds to a bare minimum. There’ll be poems and playing cards, opinions and all sorts. Some of it will be an attempt to begin a conversation. I’m tolerant of opposing values and opinions to a point. I simply won’t countenance thoughtlessness, abuse, hate or edge lord trolling nonsense.
I am extending this little corner of t'internet to include other hobbies, passtimes etc. Mediocre poetry, opinionated essays and dreadful watercolours coming your way.
