Why read and write and strive?

I want no children. 

I want no more qualifications. 

These two elements drove me for so long that to lose them is death. 


Consciously, at least, those two ambitions have never guided me. I was dead to many a long time ago. 


I want to read more. I do not. I want to read because of how it puts me in 'the world'. 



Happy with a smaller world

I am happier with the smaller world I inhabit this year. 

That decision was purposeful. 

My health is not great, and has not been for a fair while. I eat too much. I think it is an emotional and values-based approach I need. 

But it is tricky to do this when some work hangs over me.
