Loneliness And Nostalgia

  Loneliness and nostalgia. The two seem to go hand in hand for me. Loneliness leads to reminiscing on the past, and in my experience, that itself adds to the underlying ache of isolation. That's a word that has been thrown around a lot in the last six months, but personally, I have been isolating for years. Every now and then I let somebody break that bubble, pull me out of my hermit lifestyle and show me what I was missing. And I want that, I seriously do. Share experiences with someone else, have a support net ready to catch me. It does not necessarily need to be in a romantic sense either, just somebody to connect with. Just a FYI, this is not meant to be a pity piece, rather im just putting my feelings out there. I know other people feel the same as I do, especially in the world we find ourselves now. And sometimes that is all it takes, a reassurance that your not alone, and although everyone is floating around in their own little bubbles right now, perhaps we can break d...

Pondering

Endless waiting, nail bitingly watching The news looping in the background. Questions lingering, supposed answers given Advice that we are told is sound Standing in queues, 2 meters apart Only needing the bare essentials The shelves are barren, panic driven madness Stockpiling in our residential s The empty streets, my car suspension creaks She hasn't been driven in an age The runners running, time is turning Waiting until we can turn a page Our defenders stand tall, valiant and brave Shields made of plastic and cloth A formless enemy, our soldiers not so plenty Enduring the endless, tireless wroth Our politicians stand, behind their podium booths Telling us to”Take it on the chin” Is it really fair, that the innocent and vulnerable Should pay for such a sin The people are restless, minds left to rot Paranoia is settling in fast Heads spin at coughing, all of us wondering Just how long will this last The hospitals are ...

Self Isolation.

Self Isolation Its a term that im sure everyone reading this will be all to familiar with, and terrified by the sight of it. As I write this, the date is April 2 nd 2020, and the world has just went to utter shit. COVID19 is ravaging through the world, destroying health care systems and at this point has claimed the lives of almost 50,000 people across our tiny, fragile globe. The scariest part is the fact that its not even truly begun here in the UK yet, especially in sunny ol' Scotland. Normal day to day life as we know it, for the most part, has halted to a stop. Shops, restaurants and bars have been forced to close. Social distancing is the new norm, as im sure it will be for a time yet. Only leaving the house for essential supplies and one form of exercise. And like I said this is only the beginning. Who knows what the UK will look like in another months time. There is so much irony in it all though. Ten years this current government has been cutting our National...
