Hello there. Its been a while since I've been on here. With my phone I found an app that makes it easier...so here I am.
2012 is upon us, the Mayan calendar is coming to an end and I turn 40. Not that I am worried, just intrigued.
I remember back in my mid 20 s thinking that I would be dead by 30. Lots of reasons why I thought that but as it turned out, I got married for the 2nd time in my 30th year.
So in a way I did die!
Most of my 30s I have suffered from various levels of depression. Yet I look back on this decade as a happy one. My 20s were full of self doubt and general dislike of myself. My 30s have been the same but I seem to have been able to handle it better. I certainly am happier with who I am, even if the black dog still visits regularly.
So as I approach 40, I wonder what is ahead for me. Alan Moore announced that he was going to become a practising magician when he turned 40. There is a part if me that is tempted to do the same. Not that magic (or magik) is a big part of my life, but I like the idea of just deciding I'm a magician, whether or not I actually do anything. I feel that I need to do something. The more bizarre the better.
