Back from my hiatus.....

Well as you can most likely see from the title I'm back from my holiday in Spain and back from my hiatus, which lasted a bit longer than I thought it would.

I'm not going to be write much in this blog as I'll save it all for the Saturday blog. So this is going to be a very very short blog.

Summer is well and truly over. People are back in school. And I head up to Newcastle this Friday to start my uni experience. How am I feeling? I am both nervous and excited. I'm nervous because it'll be the first time that I have lived outside of Hornsea for longer than a couple of weeks. I'm excited though cos I'm finally just studying what I want (which is just History) no other shitty subjects. Just the one I love. It's also a chance to have a new start. Be a new me. Something I have been craving and wanting so badly for most of this summer. This summer has had its ups and downs. From the extreme happiness with my friends, most new and one who I have grown closer to, to the extreme lows that have looked like a resurgence of depression. Tried to come to terms with things, both in the past and the present. Realised I have made quite a lot of mistakes in the past. Wish I could change some, if not all. But would I be the same person if these mistakes had or had not been made? If I hadn't made the mistakes that I have would I know the friend I have today. Would I be happier or worse off than I am now? Of course I'll never know but it is interesting to speculate on how I might have turned out if I had or had not made the mistakes that I have made in my life.

Anyhoo I'm not gonna write much else for this blog. So till the next blog which will be resumed on Saturday I'm gonna leave you with a song by a very good folk artist called Johnny Flynn. The song is called Brown Trout Blues and in a way it sums how I've been feeling. About the mistakes and stuff. To me, the song is about how someone wants to change the way they are so that they can please someone else. But the person comes to conclusion that he is happy as he is and therefore shouldn't have to change themselves for anyone. Truly a brilliant song. I'll recommend some more Johnny Flynn in the next blog but till then I'll leave you with this brilliant song. Enjoy.

Brown Trout Blues:

So till Saturday AND the first blog from university. I hope you all have a great week. Stay safe. And I'll see you when I see you.

This is me, Edward Thompson, signing off.

Much love
