The End

Or the start, I'm not sure anymore. The last two years have been a steady limbo world which I'm not sure I'll ever escape from.

Nomad Jim seems like a good name to use here as I am virtually homeless were it not for a house that is taking forever to sell.

My house is in Cambridgeshire, my girlfriend is in South Yorkshire, my dad is in Suffolk, my mum is in Merseyside and I'm here, on the internet.... possibly the only steady home available to me.

My geographical position is Merseyside, but I want to be anywhere but.

I'm jobless and and don't particularly want to work again, but I need to. I want to do something creative with my life, either creative writing, songwriting or - what I'm flirting with at the moment - comedy writing.

The problem with creative writing is that it takes time and I'm impatient. The problem with songwriting is that I'm not a great instrumentalist and I can't sing. The problem with comedy writing is that I'm not naturally funny, I just think the form and structure of comedy is interesting.

I am also disabled, visually impaired to be precise, and being “on the road” with creativity is hard when you are night blind and have tunnel vision and are reliant 100% on public transport.

I feel stalled and tired of not moving.

When I explain how I feel it comes out wrong.

I want to live, but I'm not sure how.

Any ideas?
