Sorry, there is nothing for the moment.

A close friend sent me this quote below saying it reminded her of me.

 “SHE HAD A LIVELY, PLAYFUL DISPOSITON, WHICH DELIGHTED IN ANYTHING RIDICULOUS” -Jane Austen

Very True and if that involved me being asked to jump out of a plane and make a fool of myself to raise awareness and money towards a good cause then I’m in my element.

In fact my goal is to have a platform to be an advocate, a voice, a source of joy or an outlet for others.  To help people and to make them happy.

But now I’m sitting here a raw, real and a slightly terrified individual writing my first article for Atomic Magazine.  I’m crippled by the prospect of maybe having that platform and what if I f..k it up or don’t use it effectively.

My Instructions, just write about what you want.  Seems Simple. But in reality to me much more difficult. I know what I want for others but do I even know what I want for me? Like really want.

Some people don’t even dare to dream, because to think of what they may want it seems so far out of reach and impossible.  As I’m sitting here I’m thinking how often have I felt that what I want isn’t actually important to others anyway, so there is no real point seeking it.

Now I’m thinking if I’m allowed to have what I want, what what would happen if I then realise that’s not what I wanted at all.

So here it is

What I want is to create conversations by giving insight and my own unique perspective on things, that are either happening around me, to me or have somewhat effected or affected me in the past or may even do so in the future.

Some of you may like what I have to say, some may not. That itself is a conversation and if I can get people talking amongst themselves and thinking outside the square, the triangle or round box that someone else has put you in I’m ok with that.

You might be thinking what even qualifies Mel to give us insight into topics and issues around us??

The insight comes from the only thing I’ve had thorough training in.  The one thing I can 100 percent guarantee that no one else has learnt the same as me.

What is this revolutionary and distinctive training been based on?  Life Experience

How does Life Experience qualify me to give insight? The same way it qualifies you with yours. It’s mine and no one can take that away. It gives me perspective and has shaped me into who and what I am today.

We may have had similar things happen to us over our lifetime, things that help us relate to others or bond with them but no one has had the exact same lead up to get to where you are currently at in your life.

All these differences make as more or less unique in differing variables.  What makes me curious is to see how all these bits fit together to make you person that you are.

I seek knowledge not judge but to understand.  If you can understand how a person came to that conclusion you are much better equipped to communicate with them.  You don’t have to agree with them.  But try to understand by having conversations. There is usually a Why behind the Why.

So to try and extract some whys behind the whys I’m going to share, share the good, the bad and the ugly.

Some things will be funny, some will not, but I’m going to endeavour to expose myself in hope that potentially this leads you to understand more about what makes me the product that sits before you today and maybe by getting to know me, you may get to know yourself or others more upon reflection.

Jump on, strap yourselves in and be prepared to take in the scenery which is the rollercoaster of my life.

That is all
