a fashion of vertigo

And with that I'm back.

I have thought for a while about slowly feeling my way into writing again. It is something I enjoy immensely, one thing I learnt in the army about myself was my affinity with words, at least relatively speaking. There's so much I can think of writing, right now, but I don't feel ready to go into any heavy topics yet. So for now I will persist with writing my thoughts on the books, the music, films, and adding to the list live performances. I'd like to put in more effort than I have done so far, in view of the excess time that I'll be having.

My thoughts on life outside so far. It definitely feels like there is an obligation to get our lives back where they were heading before all this. I read a few days ago some of my exam scripts from Prelims in 2006, and some of my old writing, it's going to take some effort even to get back to that rigour of thinking. But army has left me with some lingering habits of thought and language, for one, and crucially, has also had some effect on how i approach and appreciate my place in the world. Not about to go into any kind of detail on that, but I will say, I do feel smaller now, but surer. I'm not really sure what this means yet with regards to the way I respond to ideas, but let's find out.
