Day 14 – My Earliest Memory

Strangely my earliest memory is from when I was still around 5 to 6 months old and its not much.

I remembered laid back being carried around and seeing a light switch hanging from the ceiling that I tried to grab.

I ask my parents recently when that was and they told me it was in the first house in Darlington, but I couldn’t remember that as we moved when I was 6 months old.

Other than that, I don’t really know what my first memory was.

Day 10 – discuss your first love and first kiss.

My first love and first kiss was both with the same girl, when I was 17 and in college. The same year I discovered a lot of myself, the freedoms that like can provide, many lows and many more highs. I learned to drive when 17 or at least thats when I started.

My relationship lasted over 12 months, and overall quite awesome. I discovered many things and enjoyed my time with her.

Although looking back, I don’t see that we had much money to do things, we always found something we could do together, be that cooking & eating, going to the park, walking litterally everywhere, watching movies, enjoying a night out occasionally and spending lots of time with friends and just with one another.

My first kiss… I had talked with friends about kissing, and seen movies with it in but before 17, hadn’t experienced it for myself. It was an afternoon after college, I’d walked her home and we stopped near the lights. I wasn’t sure what you were meant to do, and don’t really remember a lot of it – just that I was happy and we both were smiling a lot afterwards. The first kiss, was with my then new girlfriend and first love.

Day 8 – A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

I was out in a field, surrounded by friends in a place I felt very safe and yet totally away from normal life. I knew and still do know that my friends will support me in whatever I was to try.

Life, I can’t say was or is perfect but Happy, yes, certainly happy and the knowledge that anything can change at any point and those around me will support me is quite exciting.

Time Out – Leeds

Last weekend I went to leeds to stay with some good friends, I’ve not seen them in ages and found one of them was up near me on Friday so we drove down to leeds in the evening.

Weekends usually consist of cooking, chilling out, playing games, drinking and chatting but this weekend was different. For one thing the weather was a lot nicer than usual – mid 20’Cs. We still did a lot of what we usually do but in the afternoon I went rock climbing with one of them. I’ve only done it 3 times before, and not really done much of it.

I really enjoyed the day, we were there for about 4 hours in total. We both didn’t really think we’d last over 2 hours. I’ve never tried bouldering which was a lot harder work than I anticipated. I do wish that there was something in Teesside that offered such a variety of wall climbing things. The one I’ve been to at the moment, is just one wall instead of the 10+ ones that were there. Its something I plan to go to again.

Monday was a good day, it was gorgeous hot sunny day and I had it booked off – just felt I needed a break and found out on Friday, my friend also was off the monday (and rest of week). We had a day out, a good walk into the town centre to get a pie and then back via the park.

Something I’ve not done in years, we went to the play park and went on the swings – Always loved going on the swings and think in the future if I have a garden, its something I would add to it as it gives a great feeling of freedom while your flying through the air. We played frizbee for about an hour or so too, in lovely sunshine and a little rain which was refreshing before walking back.

It may sound simple, and quite boring to many but it was a lot of fun and something I plan to do again. All in all, it was a great weekend, relaxing and good time with friends.

Quick Update

I’ve not really written anything in a while, I’ve not really felt like writing anything – not that i’ve had nothing to talk about, just that I’ve not had time in particular to do so or just not been in the right mind set to do it.

I didn’t really get far with the 30 days of writing stuff, and probably wont get them all finished but will post a few more every so often.

I’ve been quite busy recently, my work hours have changed meaning I start earlier (and finish earlier) but I’m working more than one job so more hours for different things. Time never seems to be available to do what I’d like but what I need to do to get by.
