Twenty-Eight Years of Slumber

I've found that I've been asleep for a long time. Twenty-eight years to be presice; and, seeing as we're being presice, my entire life. Waking up was difficult. The sun scorched my face and almost blinded me. I felt the lethargy of the last twenty-eight years coursing though me and saw a life ahead of me that would be labourious, unenticing, and uncertain. I've been waking up slowly over the past two years. Slowly throwing off the blankets and rubbing my eyes. Getting myself up to have a shower and cook breakfast. The water was cold and when I opened the blinds I saw that it was raining outside as I looked back on my life thus far, taking stock. The eggs were rotten and the toast was mouldy and hard, but I scoffed it down.

The sun is now breaking through the clouds; Southern Electric have decided to gift me with a small measure of hot water and I've been to the shop and bought fresh eggs and bread. The full weight of the world is beggining to hit me and I've finally begun to open my eyes to the infinite possibilities facing me. Positive thoughts have begun to infiltrate my mind over the last week and I've started to see myself and the world in a completely different light. A light not glazed over with a lense of negativity.

My true self has started to shine through; and my neurotic, possessive and negative self has slowly started to die off in a beautiful shower of flame. I've started to open up my heart and mind to let the sun in. The side of me I thought I'd lost was old and dirty, but I've begun to clear away the cobwebs and have seen that there is no reason not to let it out. The negative thoughts which enter my mind are now vehemently challgnged and I've started a battle against them for my mind. It was Bob Marley who said; "Emancipate yourselved from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds." It has now fallen to me and me alone to challange the negativity which has degraded my mind to this point. I now have the power to change. Free yourselves from degrading thoughts which cage you in a vicious cycle; killing your will. Spread your wings and soar as high and wide as you want to. Absolution is clearly within reach.

Peace, love, revolutions...
