My last uploads from 2017, self portraits, because I deserve it.

Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us

 

I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085

 

Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.

 

if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!

 

Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:

 

The “Rules”

 

Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.

 

Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)

 

Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved

 

(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”

 

Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)

 

1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.

2.Ask them to do the same

3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*

 

* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” Ben Okri

 

“And may your first love last forever.

P.S. You are your first love. Take care of yourself.”

“Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.”

― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

I love

You.I

Want to

Protect

 

Your tender

Heart.

But you

Are fierce

 

And vibrant

Brilliant

And creative.

You make

 

A way

Where none

Was there

Before.

 

You are

Beautiful

In all

Ways, full

 

Of both

Laughter

And sorrow.

You do

 

Not need

My protection

But accept

My friendship.

 

Even so,

My heart

Loves you,

Seeks to

 

Bring you

Peace when

The world

Is harsh.

One part of a three part series of reflections on love

April 5, 2020: I’ve long been critical of how I look. For years I #weighed over 250 pounds, and in 2017/18 I was the #heaviest I’d ever been at almost 270 pounds. I look at photos of me at that time and I get physically #ill. I want to untag myself from those photos because of how awful I looked - any heavier and you could have rolled me down a hill.

 

Today, I’m still critical of myself at around 220 pounds, when in February I was down to 215. I posted the other day about how I felt like a #failure again because it was going up.

 

I even asked two friends last night how could anyone ever be head over heals for me?

And there was my mistake.

 

Why wouldn’t anyone be head over heals for me?

 

I’m a genuinely good man who cares deeply for the people in his life. I have a great sense of humour, and even if I haven’t always been happy with my body I know I have an attractive face. I have beautiful blue eyes. And I have lost 50 pounds. And if I’ve done that then I can admit I can lose another 40. I can be kind to myself and be gentle with myself about how I look today because I know I’ve come so far, and I know others have seen that in me too. Ultimately it’s not that I didn’t look good before it’s that I didn’t live life with attention to the self-care and self-love I so desperately needed but had no idea how to give myself. Ultimately I’ll look better because it’s what I #desire, it’s the life that I want. I’ll look good because I love myself and give myself permission to make responsible choices about what I eat and how I exercise. I’ll do what feels good for me by walking in #nature more and not worrying as much about going to the gym because I hate that. No, I’ll be doing it for me, and not for someone else. Because ultimately I have to shift the language I use to describe the wonderful person I am.

 

So here’s a photo of me today with all my #flaws and #imperfections. I’m not ashamed of who I am.

 

It’s been 6 days since my last emotional #breakdown. And this #photo is a part of my subverted selfie project of 2020, photo 96/366.

These shoes were meant to be. I had been drooling over them for weeks. Suddenly, they were on clearance. AND in my size. AND my mom just happened to be there and was able to buy them for me with her discount.

 

Love them!!! www.heels.com/womens-shoes/proud-wedge-pink.html

 

This is The Blue Dress that I lusted over for weeks. I finally bought it and it ended up being a reasonable price. So not only does it fit well and make me feel fantastic, but it didn't totally drain my wallet! It doesn't get much better than that. While the previous day was my first "photoshoot" with the dress, this was my first time wearing it out. Love it!
