This time last year,
I was sleeping in my tent,
I was the neighbourhood ‘weird guy’,
Complete with midnight meltdowns;
(One ridiculous night,
I found myself by a quiet road at 3am,
Completely engrossed in OCD routines,
βI’ll tell that story another time);
If I told you all of the stories from last year,
It would actually be unbelievable,
So many are known only to me,
But I intend to write them eventually;
Putting up my one-man tent,
Usually took me around thirty minutes,
For even though I could physically do it in five,
OCD was dissociating me,
Making me physically clumsy,
And mentally stuck, stuck stuck;
It’s funny, now,
When I go outside on these February nights,
To think I was braving those Scottish winds,
And the rain,
Putting up my little tent,
And sleeping so cosily inside!

I’m sure you have many more interesting tales to tell my friend.
I’m sure I’m not the only I e looking forward to them π€

You are? π. For some reason I didn’t want to write about them before, like it would be too gratuitous or looking backwards too much, too many depressing things, complaining too much. I guess I have the urge to now because I’m able to view them more positively, from a more positive frame of mind, and I’m not just writing gloomy things now. It’s not that I need to tell these remaining stories now out of therapyβ they’re more just curiosities.
