Lemons & Marrakesh

Well, when life serves you lemons. what are you going to do?

 Suck it up. Get on with it. Get back on the horse. Step up out of the gutter and get back on the kerb.

<insert all the positive wording here> lol

As previously posted, had a bit of a culture / acceptance shock - I guess I had invested so much of myself & my time into "a thing", I had lost myself & got wrapped up into things.

How about now?

Well, I've had some time to reflect, time to spend some "alone time", time to clear my mind.

I would like to give a huge hug & thanks to V.S. for helping with some of that clarity, without even realising it - it was the wake up call, I've been pressing "snooze" on for far too long.

What does that mean?  It means I'm starting my disconnection from the distraction that I have had since around 1994.  Yes, 31 years of distraction, turmoil, stress, frustration, addiction, alcoholism(ish) & general unhappiness - yes, I got good at it, very good in fact, too good.  

Now, however, the IT Industry is not what it was.  All corporations now want cheap, they want quick & they want the minimum.

This all comes at the expense of quality, experience & expertise. Maybe, it is time to move on from IT & technology & do the things I was going to do "before" I got distracted in 1994.

I'm off to Marrakesh for some death & rebirth over Easter 2025.  As one door closes, another one opens, or in my case, as several doors slam shut behind me, an open archway beckons me forth, to new wonders & a whole new world of wonders.

Maybe, I'll find a new way of life, maybe, I'll find a new purpose, a new goal, a new beginning.

I hear it's not too difficult to become a citizen :-)
