Where do you really start with keeping these things up to date again? I feel like I should recap the last few years but there's not a lot I really want to say. I'm sure I'll get to things when they come up.
So I've been doing some research about volunteering with the Samaritans, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I just feel so much like I understand the kind of place you have to be in to pick up the phone and call them, and although I've never done it, that's more to do with my total lack of anything resembling bravery. In the darkest moments when no one is there, just absolutely no one, no matter how many people might be willing to be, you have a choice to make. You resign yourself, or you can fight, and those phonecalls are the latter, I think.
I was talking to lovely Sam (I can't remember how to link livejournal usernames on here anymore, god) about it, and he warned me about how little you're actually allowed to say, really. I'm a bit worried about it but I'll give it a chance at least. I have a feeling I'll struggle with giving advice, when I'm listening to other people I'm all proactive and whatnot, but when it comes to myself I'm a big fat procrastinator.
Two weeks tomorrow until I go to Florida. Two days since I gave up smoking.
