There are two colours in my head

As ever, there are always atleast two opposing views, regarding anything.

Unsurprisingly, my mind is regularly returned to 2006, pre-accident.

I felt uneasy, early autumn. From the ages of 4years+, I had been focussed on education (eighteen years)! I knew that my passion for music had peaked back in 2003, watching Radiohead at Glastonbury, as an 18year old. 

Sport, I had loved football, all of my life, but primarily since an young teenager, cycling was ‘my sport’. I realised that as a tall, slim or skinny teenager, I was made for cycling, not for a football pitch. My goals were to ride with a club, but primarily I had my aim locked-on to the Alpe D’Huez. 21 hairpins, I could sense that this would be hard, but bring such joy. I was a climber, this would be the ultimate target.

Work and finance would be tackled once I had ‘entered the real world’, after education.

Romances. I had successfully, deeply loved my first real girlfriend, but my second girlfriend felt a lot closer to. Closer, but actually further away. The direct train journeys from my Loughborough to her Birmingham, joined our two universities for us. True love. Special.

I had graduated in 2005, but I started to specialise. I was studying for a Graduate Certificate in ‘Design for Visual Communication’, part-time. I was 21, I believed that I could do it all. I did. I was employed. I was still studying. I was in love. I had just climbed ‘L’Alpe’, watched 2006 Tour de France. Tick, tick, tick. Life was complete.

I felt uneasy.

What next? Hmmm, what will I aim for?

This is a warning!

Life IS NEVER COMPLETE

Just when you think that you have succeeded, nearing ‘completion’, BEWARE.

Fate decides for you

Where I wrote today's post. A beautiful, dreamy sky, always reinforces my expansive thinking. Surbiton riverside.
