I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days. It overwhelms me as I’m sitting on the bus; watching the golden leaves from a window; a sudden burst of realisation in the middle of the night. I can’t help it and I can’t stop it. I’m alone as I’ve always been and sometimes it hurts…. but I’m learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. To comfort my own heart when I wake up sad. To find small bits of friendship in a crowd full of strangers. To find a small moment of joy in a blue sky, in a trip somewhere not so far away, a long walk an early morning in December, or a handwritten letter to an old friend simply saying ”I thought of you. I hope you’re well.”
No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself. Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it.

Slowly building myself a home with things I like. Colors that calm me down, a plan to follow when things get dark, a few people I try to treat right. I don’t sometimes, but it’s my intent to do so.

Read moreRather a fan of McDonalds for a long time. Always a Big Mac if nothing else. Interesting place as a Drive-Thru but I have never used it as such always turning up in person.
Efficient as you might expect from an organisation like McDonalds & always polite. Rarely a long wait, occasionally I am not asked if I want to eat in so I get given a takeaway instead. Inside the toilets are clean & functional, compact but I found it enough room, especially as I always carry my Camera on me. The new decor is great, colourful & I found the seats comfortable, even the singles & stable. Most importantly the benches provide enough room between the table to sit in comfortably. Something often forgotten so one is not pinned in.
Food wise if you don't like McDonalds food you are not going to go in. Still apart from the stock items, many healthy options if you want it but I am fine with Diet Cola, the fries are always nice. I do find though McDonalds are getting increasingly creative with their specials. The M & Big Tasty with Bacon are my favourites but I have a new one in the Bacon Double Clubhouse. Then again if Breakfast always a Double Sausage & Egg McMuffin meal with Hash Brown. On another note I find it a nice place to have lunch after a day out. Relaxing unlike the only one left in Broadmead at The Horsefair, since The Merchant Street one closed as understandably it gets so busy.
I note also importantly no trouble there which is always...
Read moreI'm am so disgusted by the service of mcdonalds and how the person I spoke to on the phone when I called to complain treated me. I regularly use the urber eats to deliver my mcdonalds and never usually have a problem yesterday I ordered £13.25 worth of food to be delivered it took over a hour to arrive I didn't mind this cause it did say on the tracker what time it would arrive when the driver dropped it off the bag was sealed so I opened it and started to sort it out for me and my partner he opened his cheeseburger and we couldn't belive it someone had taken a big bite out of it this is disgusting to think that someone who was preparing our food had taken a big bite out of the cheeseburger I couldn't eat the rest of what we ordered because this had put me off so much I called the branch straight away to explain what had happened and the person I spoke to wasn't very helpful and said there was no way anyone preparing the food could of done this and it must of been the urber driver I explained to him that the bag was fully sealed and had not been opened so it could not have been driver and who ever prepared the order must of took the bite he was very unhelpful and just wouldn't listen to what I was saying I'm so angry of the way he spoke to me and he wouldn't listen I regularly use this mcdonalds for delivery but never again will I use this branch or eat in it after...
