There are moments in our lives that make us review our outlook on life, the world and people we know and love. Now Dear Reader is one of those times. Your friends are not your friends, and infact over the last few weeks the people who I thought were friends and had trusted in more situations than I care to count, have proven themselves more willing and able (how’s this for an abuse of knowledge and power) to stab me in the back, betray me and sell out (over and over).

What can I do about it? Not a lot. One sleep-less night is enough. Anger is a misplaced emotion, a vent for all the others when they get too intense. Did I think nearly two years ago when a friend and I had an idea that they would side-step me for my having an opinion? No. Did  I ever thing that a long invested-in friendship would be swapped for a casual acquaintance? Nope. In fact, the foundations had endured so much that I was pretty certain it wasn’t going anywhere. But this just proves that anything can be broken. Give it enough time and enough attempts. Enough pressure and anything will crack.

In other news:

- I’m aware that I’m a bit behind guys. Fear not. I have not not been exploring. I have been less active but this was largely due to the End of Year deadline. This has now passed.

-The End of Year deadline is now passed! I now have a lot more free time to give you the content you deserve and normal service will resume shortly.

- I have moved house. May this be for the last time. 12 moves in 5 years is enough for anyone. I now have a house, a room in a house, a warm bed, a window and a garden. Space for my books and a desk to work at. Job Done.

Anyway guys, that’s all for now. I am still reeling, but there comes a time where you have to draw a line under something, accept the fact that your efforts on something were wasted in every way apart from the ringing realisation that you should have given up on that thing a long time ago. Accept it, deal with it and move on…

Funny how even when you know all that it doesn’t make it any easier, eh?
