Don’t you just wish sometimes that things were more transparent? It could make life so much easier. Still if everything were more transparent we wouldn’t really have any of our secrets… as much as disclosure would make life better it could also make it worse.

In other news, recently I’ve been thinking about a couple of poems that I have written. Two in particular that seem to crop up as they are relevant to me, time and time again. I won’t put them here because they aren’t the point here. What I’m thinking about is how we cope, rationalise, explain, deal with and simply react to things. Some people try and ignore problems, some talk about them, some write about them. I think also some people also read, for example I read the poems I was mentioning. Overall I know that I use pretty much all of these methods, even the ignoring one – which doesn’t work. At least not in the long term.

That said about ignoring a problem, I do like to distract myself. When I feel bad what helps most is to go out and immerse myself in something. Leave no room for the problem that is bringing me down. Sure this doesn’t solve the problem at all but it gives time and distance. The issue with this method is that it isn’t always so easy to achieve.

See there aren’t always activities available to be a distraction. Especially at night time or when it’s raining – unless your one of those walking at night in the rain type of people. Still walking isn’t even the best activity to distract – even when the weather is good. See you need something to really take your attention away. An example of a better option is video games, not just any game but specifically multi-player games. The competitive nature will help distract you. Hopefully you will also enjoy yourself – after all isn’t that the point of a video game?
