Thinking about the future…
Trying to wrestle with plans for the future now I’m not in full-time employment is becoming increasingly pointless. Always one for working I currently find it difficult to say not anyone who asks me to do something be it driving buses, working markets, delivering veg or just helping out with something. God knows how I found the time to do an actual job. I need to actually decide what I really, really want to do. It’s a great position to be in but fraught with anxiety as I end up trying to please everyone all the time and I’m increasingly unsure if I’m actually happier which was the reason for giving up teaching in the first place.
So the New Year is when operation sanity swings into action. Somehow I must create a personal work routine that allows me to create (writing/acting) whilst also allowing spontaneity. I know, a pipe dream, but it is one I must pursue or I’ll end up bitter and resentful. It’s a first world problem tbh.
Only one choice of sounds this week as there are also two radio shows to enjoy. Show number 1 the countdown from 22 – 1 of tracks of the year. The second a festive fun-filled phantasmagoria full of joy. The music choice is the title track from my album of the year Half Dream’s – Will I Still Bloom. I cannot speak highly enough of this album. They should be huge in a fair world but we know that’s not the case so fingers crossed for them. As ever take what you want or need. Take care of yourselves and thanks for reading/listening.
Keith.
