Self-discipline is a quality that’s won only through practice.

Successful people have learned to do what doesn’t come naturally. They are willing to confront discomfort, distractions and doubt, and act in spite of them

For any of you guys who have siblings/ friends starting university this autumn there is an opportunity to get a £3000 grant (non-repayable), to help with tuition fees/living costs. It is a Muslim organisation, but the grant is open to non muslims as well.

The Lonny Breaux Collection. 

It has been stuck on repeat for the past week and half now; and it never fails to bring out the song writer in me. Or at least a rookie attempt at song writing lol. It’s something I use to do for fun when I was younger, when I became bored of writing poetry; a way of switching things up a bit. Recently I have been intending to put pen to paper, just for the sake of it, put on a snazzy instrumental for inspiration and see what magic happens; but I kept putting it off and to be honest have had more important commitments to prioritise. 

Anyways, I finally got round to writing something today but it hasn’t had the effect I thought it would. It started off with a bit of writers block, but once the first verse came to fruition, everything just fell into place, naturally, like co-operative binding of Oxyhaemoglobin. random simile. Slighlty irrelevant lol, but hopefully someone out there gets it. The end result of my song writing: I’m sitting here having unlocked some memories; memories that were possibly on their way to being repressed in my subconscious, but are now doing salsa in my forebrain. 

I’ve forgotten the point of this post now. I’ve also been told that ‘conclusions’ are not my strong point. I think the point I’m trying to make is, it was a mistake for me to try and tap into my creative side tonight. I was meant to tread the water…but now I’ve fallen in too deep.
