The first Monday after the new year, the most Monday of Mondays a friend just said to me I'm healthy (I think), got a job, a house, I'm warm and well fed so what have I got to moan about? Well as it happens, like usual, quite a lot. Before Christmas, whilst Christmas was always going to be weird there was something to look forward to. But now the relentlessness of life being the same day after day after day is on the mind. I'm finding the particularly hard at the moment because I live alone and spent yesterday indoors all day and didn't see or speak to anyone. I actually made a point of noting that the first words that came out of my mouth was about 2 in the afternoon as I walked upstairs and found myself singing The VengaBus. If I'm finding it hard how hard must people be finding it who don't see or speak to anyone for days or weeks. I can imagine it will be bloody awful.
If you're lucky enough to have company and human contact try and reach out to others who may not. If that lonely friend sent you a Happy New Year message try and find the time to reply. If they're anything like me they are sat there alone anxiously fretting and questioning why people don't care enough to do something so simple, and reflecting on and fuelling the fire of their already low self worth. Take Care, Reach out Paul
