trying new things,
The surf
riding high above the sky,
wondering when i will die,
breaking waves across the sea
is definItely something that used not be me,
my mind and my soul are free from the sea
and not being curst by curiosity
now i feel free,
alive and like me,
living the way a child aught to be,
a child without sin,
regret or upset.
but living naively
while riding the sea.
i think some times when we try new things it takes us out of our heads, a few years ago i learnt to surf and it was the first time in years that i actually felt alive and i was not stuck in my head, although it was only for a short amount of time it still was long enough to know there was more to life.
hope everyone is doing well. i am going to electric picnic this weekend and am petrified the condition is going to take over. i am determinted that i will be stronger, to hopfully have another experience like when i learnt to surf.
;o) leah
Thanks for this post Leah. I remember going surfing too before down in Mayo. I was deep in the condition at the time but the one thing I do remember enjoying from that trip is surfing.
The main reason I'm replying though is because I think this post is incredibly strong and brave. What you wrote 'i am determinted that i will be stronger, to hopfully have another experience like when i learnt to surf' I love it.
I hope you enjoy your weekend and thanks again for the post its been really helpful

Hello Leah – I hope you are having some electric time on the picnic, I heard it was one of the best ever.
Love your poem – I remember times when I was in the condition and I could not read anything, I could not concentrate or understand anything, but poems kept me going, somehow through poems we access the subconscious mind differently.
Let’s surf through recovery :)
All the best
