Why bother to make people
smile?
Why bother to help others
when it’s unappreciated?
Why bother to comfort
someone?
Why bother to make a go
at anything?
Why bother at all
When all you get is
A slap in the face
and bitter words
Harsh treatment
and nasty words
Why bother indeed
when it’s you they
Pretend to need
Why bother anymore…

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

Well that is really good. This didn’t make me smile of course, but if it’s any consolation, it did make me feel something so I thought I would say so. I hope people are kinder, I know they can be.
Thanks Trent.
Yeah you have to hope but sometimes it’s the realities that frustrate me like this so I tend to write a lot about those kinds of people.
I have happy stuff too of course! Not always darkness. Glad you liked it.
