scifimike: (WTF)
[personal profile] scifimike
I've always thought of myself as a strong person - physically, mentally and emotionally - and I'm finding reserves to fight through this situation that I didn't even realise. If I was talking to someone else who was going through what I've been going through, if they were still moving forward and onward, I would tell them that I'm proud of them. I should be proud of myself.

What does it mean to be strong? What are my strengths?

You wouldn't think this would be a hard question to answer and 18-months ago, I would have had no difficulty telling you them but with this depression and questioning my identity, I'm finding myself less sure of myself. Although the more work I'm doing on it, the more I'm realising that despite my life being turned upside down, I'm still the same me at my core.

I'm thorough and conscientious, I'm very careful in what I do and I pay attention to details - but without losing sight of the big picture. I know what I'm doing, and why.

I'm curious. I love to learn new things about the world around me, I want to understand the people in my life. I love surprises - to try new food, talk to a stranger or just ask a question. This is something I'm trying my hardest to instill in my son

I'm polite. I was brought up to mind my p's and q's Good manners cost nothing and I'm forever horrified at the way people treat other people, there's no respect or kindness anymore.

Welcome

My name is Mike, I'm a 48-year-old science-fiction fan from the wilds of Wolverhampton. Metalhead, bookworm, pagan, goth, geek; this blog is going to feature my daily ramblings, as well as new music and books I discover, and the trials and tribulations of fatherhood, divorce and discovering my sexuality.
