Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

Walls
Once upon a time you lived inside my head, now just a memory I feel for you instead. Hallow as night you build your guard, only to give hints at who you truly are. So many walls that you care to admit, fear and shame is what doesn’t let you give in. You value yourself to the point of arrogance, give no ish unless to educate or care for someone indefinite.

Isn't It Bromantic?
Summer is the perfect time to kick back and relax with a good book. For me, summer reading has a different feel to it than winter reading. During the winter, I find myself getting cozy with a thrilling adventure or shocking mystery, but during the summer I want to sit by the pool with a nice steamy romance or daring drama. Beach reads, a popular subgenre of books designed to capture the ease of the summer spirit, are often a section of the bookstore that I overlook, but there was something about this book that caught my eye.

Memory
Introduction I feel that I am always forgetting things that I should know. I am getting older and since I passed thirty people have stopped talking to me and insulted me because of my age. I have been turned down for jobs because of my age but have also got jobs this millennium because of a positive attitude to age. I am past the old UK retirement age now and to many people that means I don;t exist, but the reality is I still feel and act as though I am about fifteen, and actually have friends who are teenagers (maybe they didn’t notice how old I was for some reason) to a lot older than me. If we don't see and talk to people directly on line age almost becomes non existent although it's wrong to try and con people that you are a different age, although as a teenage I expected bus conductors to treat me a child for cheap travel and pub landlords and cinema boc offices to treat me as an adult for beer and "X" Rated films.

"ALONE"
Before We Get Started, Here Are Some Facts Concerning Loneliness And Depression Although loneliness by itself is not a mental health issue, the two are closely related. Your likelihood of experiencing loneliness may rise if you have a mental health issue. Everybody experiences loneliness occasionally. But, since loneliness is a subjective emotion, no two people will experience the same loneliness. The feeling we experience when our demand for fulfilling social contact and connections is unmet is a frequent description of loneliness. However, being lonely is not always the same as being alone.

NOVEMBER 11th
If I close my eyes, a vision of my grandparent's home comes to mind with all the poppies growing out front along the fence. While contemplating, memories of my dad donating money in exchange for the paper poppies fill my mind. Even today, the exchange of a donation for poppies goes on across the country. The contributions assist disabled and hospitalized veterans.

The Need To Be Accepted
I was first thinking , when exactly does one start to yearn for acceptance? Is it when we are born? Is it when we first feel the pain of non-acceptance?

Doors (pt. 1)
When one door closes, another one opens. So goes the optimistic metaphor. I like it because I’m an optimist, and it’s simple. I don’t like it, because unfortunately for me it’s completely unrelatable. If I were to rewrite this saying to match my life experience it would go something like this:

Three Birds, One Fowl
Three birds congregate in the meadow to woo the likings of one fowl. The first bird, a strong hawk, is so sure of himself. He confidently assumes a stance of magnificence, much like a great marble statue. He is an idol, influential, yet dominating.

The Old Man and the Sebring
“Two fifteen.” Now see, that’s how you know a veteran dispatcher from a neophyte. The newbies always ask. “Two fifteen?” As though there is room for question here. As though I might not answer. As though I could decline my charge.
