Day 89 of OU studies.

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Casper Smith, Thursday, 7 Jan 2021, 13:19

After a long sleep, i have woken up content and recharged, i am making headway with the conflictions within my family and now i can get back to enjoying what is left of Christmas and 2020. I am feeling happy about attacking TMA03, which is due in on the 14/01/2021, its been nice to have a break in preparation. 

I seem to be more organised these days and i can definitely feel the benefit of previous access courses and TMAs. I finally feel that after years of soul searching, self development therapies and studies, that i am in a position of clarity, balance and self reflection that is peaceful and at ease. 

In being able to over come life's mini battles with composure and a certain level of etiquette is reassuring and rewarding. For the first time ever i am able to sit comfortably reflecting with out regret, guilt or shame, safe in the knowledge that the years i have spent trying to be a better person is paying off.

Hi Casper

Well done with everything and here’s to a Happy New Year for us all. It cannot be any worse than this past year. Although, if Sturgeon gets her way heaven help us all up here in Scotland 🙈

Thank you Judith for your well wishes, it is much appreciated, one thing i have learned from life, and i believe in, is that things can always be worse and it would benefit me to grateful for life's small mercies. Unfortunately i am unable to converse with you about the state of the politicians of the world, as my argument and lobbying does not involve the temporary governments, so i do apologise. Although i will listen and accept your opinion. What i do get from your message is that you live in Scotland, so i hope it works out in a way that suits the people of Scotland in the best way possible. 

My Mothers Father is Scottish and sadly passed away when i was very little, I often sit and listen to stories from my Mother, my Uncle and Aunty and as much as we are all part of great britain, it is easy to distinguish the cultural differences, which i find intriguing and fascinating. 

I do not support the empire, i am not in to colonialism, and i believe that each individual country has the right to run itself as the people of that country see fit, as opposed to organisations telling those people how to live. I think that we could all agree that it is clearly not working. 

I've learned through life that 'as much as it pains me' i can not change the world, i can only change my world, so i hold my mini protests and lobbies against the people that i believe are damaging the world we we live in. Forgive me for going on, its just a breathe of fresh air to have a normal conversation for a change, after recent activities.
