Firstly, I’m currently in the USA (in the gloriously sunny ‘Sunshine State’!) and the walls are paper thin where I’m staying so apologies for the door banging and other such noises!
Secondly, i'm finally taking a proper, total step back from all my 'public' work in mental health now. I've been doing it over a decade and it's taken a toll. I need to prioritise my wellbeing going forwards, as well as focus on other areas of my life.
Lastly, in this video, i forgot to mention from my scribbled notes that I am well aware I’m ‘self-obsessed’ as a few people have commented in the last year. In the words of John Lennon, “Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.” This is something I desperately want to work on. I need to let so much s**t go. Both in terms of what everyone thinks of me, but mostly my own self obsession, judgements, doubts etc. And to stop overthinking everything always argh!
Oh and the final thing I want to leave you with are the lyrics from one of my favourite Dusty Springfield songs, Goin’ Back:
'Let everyone debate the true reality,
I’d rather see the world the way it used to be.
A little bit of freedoms all we lack,
So catch me if you can…I’m goin back.'
It sums up the way I feel perfectly right now. It's such a f***ing divided, intolerant, harsh society to be part of at present. I seem to fit into this modern world less and less as time goes by. But I pray that we all find freedom, as well as peace and love, unconditionally :)). Jonny x x
