It&#8217;s just quite a nice feeling being able to send random thoughts out into the ether and let them wander around. It&#8217;s like when I was little &#8211; I used to derive great joy in attaching little messages to the string of helium balloons and letting them go for someone else to find. I didn&#8217;t even really care that most used to get caught in the massive trees at the end of my parents garden, and once I found one popped on some barbed wire in the horses field near my old house. It was the excitement of the unknown I guess, of where something could end up, the potential for my balloon to go somewhere exciting. I&#8217;ve missed this\u00a0 desperately.<\/p>\n<p>I think I commented not too many posts ago (and let&#8217;s be frank, there haven&#8217;t been many this year), that it is a strange sensation in some respects to have got where you had planned on going. In some ways I couldn&#8217;t be happier. In others I can&#8217;t help feeling disappointed, which has left me feeling a little flat and quite dreary . For some reason yesterday however, something woke up in me. Like my brain desperately wanted to save itself from an eternity of menial tripe and boredom &#8211; obviously disillusioned that I was going to do anything about it myself. I realised that I might have got where I was going, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I have to stay here. Maybe I can be more than the girl in the office that&#8217;s a bit silly and does the typing. Maybe I could be one of those people who just go out and do what they want to do, as far fetched and random as it seems.<\/p>\n<p>I like random. I dig far fetched. Maybe I should give it a go! If Katie Price can write best sellers&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I woke up at 5:30am this morning thinking &#8220;I have to do something about this&#8221;. I started writing this at 6:05.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the closest thing I had to a balloon.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Months have passed since anything appeared in this much neglected space.
