Yep. I let myself go.
Well, perhaps not in the same sense as being fired. Firing myself is an effect of the cause.
I digress.
I wrote about the differences of Art school and University, but I never wrote about living in a city for the first time in my life. Now THAT was worth writing about. But why didn't I? I talked about it all the time.
Like I said, I let myself go.
These past few months have been a strange time for me. A time of indulgence and forgetfulness. You see, I have demons. Doesn't everyone? My most challenging demons - at least of late - is the demon of severe lack of willpower.
I get bored. I satisfy myself with a trip to Sainsbury or Primark which means spending money, creating waste. I've stepped up my consumerism and, well, it hurts.
And it hurts for me to write about it.
Oh, yes, I've made advances in other areas of my life but it seems like it's all two steps forward and twelve steps back if I can't live within my means.
But here we are. I have noted the problem and the next step is to reverse the problem. Or, at least, stop the problem from continuing and that's what this post is about. I stopped writing regularly and here's my pledge to start again. I have a lot to write about! I'm stepping up this summer. I'm taking a few steps closer to sustainability and I'll have a lot I want to share.
I leave Glasgow in TEN DAYS. Maybe I can't post every day, but I'm going to try for three a week. No - that's not saving the world by any means, but it's at least a way for me to keep track of myself, to not go astray like I did while in Glasgow.
Next step - Make a list! A list that goes with the list of things I want to do this summer - a list of things I want to learn about and write about here on My Adventures in the Parking Lot.
