Missed a chance I never had?

Sometimes I feel like I’ve already missed the chance before I even had one. Chat to someone online, things seem to be going well, but then life gets in the way, have to go away for Easter and such things, and with one thing and another, for various reasons, you never get around to meeting up until all you have is a less and less frequent chat online and then that stops soon too. And I’m left not knowing what I did wrong.

Maybe its me?

I don’t smile, I don’t commit, I don’t engage. There is a hole in my soul the longs to be filled, yet I don’t know how to reach out and find what I long for. Am I going to old up a lonely old man. Worse yet; is this my oath simple because it is the easiest? Least effort, least risk, least chance, least confrontation?

Work

It just hit me, my years at school really did scare me a lot more than I have previously thought. Whilst at school I went and did the obligatory work experience thing, and did not have a good time, got scolded for things that I had no way of know better than, given the wrong sort of work to do, shouted at, ignored, and various other unpleasantnesses. All of this is old news, and although an unpleasant situation to be in for 2 weeks… it was better than being at school. However today I occurred to me that this really did ingrain in my mind a level of fear of the workplace. Not work itself, sure I’m lazy, but I get things done. No, fear of the atmosphere, the people, the mentality of the workplace. This of course shaped other decisions and was very likely being some really dumb things I did. Bombing out of Uni… twice… for example.

Old bloginess

Reading though some of my old blog entries and it seems I had a lot more to say about nothing particular at all than I do now. I’m sure that means something… probably that I’m just not thinking enough in creative ways lately. I need to do something about that. Time to get myself into the habit of posting on here, posting anything, posting everything, just posting.
