Green Park

Juicelog Sun 260306: Today opened up a seminal and memorable chapter in my life. Spent a large chunk of the evening inside Green Park tube station talking to a friend of mine whilst train spotting. Unexpectedly he opened up to me and decided to share a very sensitive and personal issue about himself.

It was most revealing to say the least as I never realised he had these emotions bottled up inside of him. Even though he felt really embarrassed and awkward for feeling so vulnerable and teary due to his disclosure, I hope he will one day realised that some of this pain he experienced tonight will allow him to grow which will lead to him eventually bringing about some of the changes he needs to make to achieve more desirable outcomes in his life.

I’m not one for cheesy and naff lines but all of us at some point during our human existence will have shitty moments to deal with in our lives, but I ultimately subscribe to the theory that it is our outlook which shapes our approach to overcoming these hurdles.

My respect as always remains great for him and he doesn’t need me to spell out how much I care about him. I really do appreciate the fact that he allowed me inside some of his innermost thoughts and feel poignantly touched that he choose to share them with me. When the time is right I will one day reciprocate this by sharing with him all the stuff that makes me feel blue (as well as the stuff that brings a smile to my face). Tonight’s post is dedicated to him come (British) rain come (Spanish) shine.
