Following two years of silence on this blog I have taken a decision to start working on it again. I stopped blogging because I started my first “proper” full time job in September 2008 and didn’t really have time to do that, the campaigning I wanted to get in and write on here. Another reason was that I became afraid of criticism.
Two things have altered in the proceeding two years, the first is that I have just handed in my notice. I don’t know what I am going to go and do next but I am sure that what I am doing is so wrong for me, that I simply cannot continue in it. The second reason is really getting hold of myself and saying “get a grip, they’ll agree or disagree. Live with it and get on”.
I have come to a situation in life which I did not expect and certainly did not want; I moved back to my parents, I work in a job I don’t enjoy (yes, as do most people), my friends are all moving away (post-University) and I am not doing what I feel I should be. So, it is really rather simple, I need to start changing this situation now. That is why I have handed in my notice, it’s why I’m exploring options in internships, its why I’m looking at travelling for a little bit and in a way it is part of the reason I have started writing again.
I believe that I have a tendency to get wrapped up in my own self importance, I can become quite lecturing and I don’t like that, so I am just going to write and see how it comes out and if I’m not keen on it I am going to continue writing until I am.
This blog has predominantly been about politics, it’s in the title so I suppose that makes sense, however I am going to be writing about my life and what is going on in it, as part of that I expect there will be some politics.
