Enjoying the silence

Again, Baz and I agree… Song lines (Enjoy the silence depeche mode) are pretty tacky way to write so I’m going to have to redeem myself through content alone.

I have a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) with my case. It will give me a bit of head start in life but importantly it has brought closure.

So I’ve been here thinking how I can best use the mediation money. I’m going to finish my masters degree from March to July then once I’ve got this qualification, I’ll see what’s out there. I have been keen for a career change. I’m still eligible for some graduate programs so I may also be blessed with a choice of agencies/ businesses to join.

I’ve entertained the idea of academia. This is probably my preferred choice but it means that I need around 3 to 4 years full time to complete this. I’m pretty sure I can pull this one off, just looking for part-time work to pay for those extras each month (cable tv, internet, mobile).

It great to feel like I’m getting somewhere again. Despite the heartbreak that I suffered when my wife and I split, I’m seeing remarkable changes in me already. My orderliness is Dexter-like… (but so are my social skills) She was actually impressed to see that I could do it (and that’s an impressed in a nice way, not sarcastic). I think that with 6 to 12 months more I should be fully self-reliant.

I say self-reliant because I realised that I’ve never lived alone before… Quite a feat. So again, I say enjoying the silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence
