Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Bank holiday sun!

 This is strange.

Short, because it wasn't long since my previous post. I typed because I felt such need to communicate with you all. I publish it today because I have time to (and I shouldn't leave it too late)!

I typed this post (italics), riverside on Easter Monday, as I returned home from Kingston.

'People return to public spaces, and I am struck by something…

I live in Greater London. I can travel about, wheelchair-restricted, but I am free. Everyone is. Here. 

I am struck as I sense that people around me do not know that other lives exist. They are so close, and people like to think that they are aware. THEY ARE NOT!

A pedestrian gets angry at another, as they almost walk into one another!

Hehehe

Nothing happens.  This is the biggest problem that I spot. It’s not a problem.

These people know nothing.

I am now one of ‘these people’. Everyone acts. Everyone is trying so hard to promote themselves and their ‘perfect lives’. People may say that they are aware of all, but these are just words.

We are all just VERY LUCKY, to be here and living this beautiful life. Do NOT take it for granted. No-one knows the future. I must share this warning…

The further you rise, and the closer that you get to ‘complete happiness’, the further you will fall.

It is just human nature, for people to confirm to others, their success. 


It seems that essentially many need constant boosting to what may be very low self-confidence/self-belief (for whatever reason)! 


Everything equates.'



When the sun comes out, people come out!




I guess I typed this note above, because I felt I had to. I was feeling so uneasy about this 'return to normality'.
