A walk without a phone – yet again – I decided to leave it at home
A walk whilst/while being alone
A walk whilst/while I was getting my thoughts together but focusing on where I was going – sometimes I treat myself to some day dreaming in the park
A walk whilst/while being around nature
A walk while/whilst walking uphill
A walk whilst/while walking downhill
A walk while/whilst walking in October sunshine
Flippin’ eck lad, who do you think you are with that line. yeah it’s like when I get a bit poetic I have to go a bit extra Scouse to make myself stay humble or to keep being myself – I don’t know – and partly to produce something a bit different and make it a bit comical too
I didn’t know whether to write whilst/while so I used both ‘coz I’m rebellious mate
It’s a pity *** that *** I’m not perfect eh (yeah this is a bit like seeing notes sometimes on this site, it helps me edit it)
I’ll try to recap on some grammar soon
There’s only so many hours in the day
I am thankful to be able to recall a lot of the (I am not using the definite article there) grammar knowledge that I have soaked up over the years, that I have been taught or that I have taught myself
I’m trying to get back to reading more, that helps
Naturally I want to be productive
I want to write well
But it is mainly for enjoyment, exploring and practical reasons
There are other motivations too
I am a language geek, a rebellious language geek, so you know
Anyway
A walk that is helping me stay in the zone
A walk that was done alone
A walk that did not cost a penny
A walk that was not taxed
A walk that lasted about approximately 40 minutes
Notice how I keep starting every sentence with ‘a walk’
Boss that lad isn’t it
I was trying to be a bit more sensible & all but I couldn’t help but be a bit daft
I’ll keep trying I suppose
Parts of this is quite (thinking of what is a suitable word to use here) focused
These posts are often reflecting where I am at mentally
Perhaps it might have been better to start this from an outward perspective
But this is effectively a stream of consciousness
So, thoughts are not always linear, but sometimes I try to write ones a bit like this sometimes
This is more of a tidied up version
But with some imperfect and authentic elements
I am breaking the 4th wall again
It is also a way of trying to get some thoughts out
Recently I have felt frustrated at times, and I wrote things that did not necessarily truly reflect what I always think, and I am seeing things a lot more positively now
I am sorry if any of it was a bit too edgy – I push the boundaries though – I occasionally think that I worry about these things too much
Back to being a rebel punk rocker then, but an updated version, you could say
I will edit this very slowly in a minute
I have put myself first in this post, it is something that I need to do more actually, but not in a selfish way
I will do that bit now
So, this is a chance to say how I think how important it is for us to have an unselfish society
I can sometimes be selfish (conditional), but I am *** not *** selfish (permanent, as in generally speaking)
Back to ‘I’, I actually don’t like using the word ‘I’ too much, but this is going to be an unselfish use of the word ‘I’
‘I’ like anyone else – am looking to gain – or to win (however you want to define that)
But sometimes I think a way of winning is by looking at the bigger picture and thinking unselfishly – because it’s smart to do so – but also because it is practical & effective
‘I’ sometimes think it would be easier to be selfish, but the world cannot function properly if everyone is selfish,
‘I’ am very concious of how important it is to look out for people and to be unselfish
