Back To Where You Started...

Text and Images - Dom Read

So the walls are caving in, you are drowning in inadequacies, the regrets keep piling up and no matter how fast you run you can't escape the rolling wave of mistakes that is breaking and crashing behind you...

You tell yourself don't look back and just keep pushing forwards. Things will get better or they won't but you can't change what is done and dusted you can only hope for the best! The thing is though which way is forward?? Many different routes lie in front of you and none of them are wrong but at the same time none of them are right. It is up to you but then again that is the problem isn't it. The choices, so many fucking choices and you have a history of choosing the wrong one. Fuck...

But then again perhaps looking back isn't so bad after all...?

When things get out of hand, going back to what you know from when you started is possibly the safest option. Maybe you will remind yourself of which direction North is. Maybe you will just kill the time until you feel a little calmer.. Or maybe you will just have a trip down memory lane and fall in love with something you can't remember why you fell out love with.

That is what happened with me and my linoleum recently. Why did I stop? Probably because I am a coward or whiny little bitch or maybe cos I was simply preoccupied by something else at that was filling my time. The why, the when and the how, don't really matter two shits and neither does the time in between.

What does matter is the process!!!

Tools in hand, focus on the craft....
