A new look and a new start.

Bored at work (nothing new there) – so decided it was time for a change. A new theme and a new title, to reflect hopefully a new outlook and a bunch of more positive (and perhaps interesting) rants and writings.

For anyone who read this blog before (hardly anyone) the old title “The Blue Corner” was partly a reference to a battle with depression that I’ve had over a long period. If I look back now some of the posts are very introspective, negative and self obsessed. Perhaps also a little whiney. But also intensely personal – because I never really advertised this blog to anyone (though I know a couple of people including family members, found out about it and kept tabs on it) so I felt I could blather about my love life and other stuff like that without really caring.

Sorry in advance if anyone goes back, reads the posts and decides I’m incredibly self obsessed and boring. I’ve mentally wrestled with the idea of removing them but decided not to – I’m quite happy to lay it all out there. I’m like that in real life too, my emotions are usually visible on my sleeve, so what’s the difference. No games, no bullshit.

I know someone else right now who is dealing with similar inner demons – and though we’re not close, I’m trying to reach out to him a bit and show him he’s not alone. I would encourage anyone who is in the same boat to do the same – life’s too short to see people going through (and possibly leaving) their lives that way.
