“I’m not coming back…”
My email title reads, as I use another few bytes of roaming data from Barcelona airport…. I won’t be coming back today however. Due to a security incident at London Luton airport Easyjet had to cancel flights to the UK.
The irony of standing in the speedy boarding queue for 40 minutes makes me chuckle, resigning myself to another night in this incredible city. All be it in a hotel of their choice, probably on the edge a motorway or something. (i am here now as I post this, i was right… for once)
Delayed flights are an emotive situation for many, some shouting and others boasting how their going to get ‘wrecked’ in the airport bar, insisting the airline will pay the f**king bill. We all react in different ways, many have family or work commitments and others see it as an opportunity to have a moan, typically updating Facebook statuses or tweeting their ‘misery’.

One thing this situation does bring us is ‘More time’ — how often do we all say ‘I have no time for *insert procrastination here*. This could be a perfect opportunity to get on with that ‘thing’ you’ve been putting off.
My thing i’ve been putting off is this ever growing social platform, if you can even call it that?! Maybe a blog or journal is more accurate.
I want to write more.
I want to be better at communicating, to myself and others.
Can i commit to a journal entry every day? Anything i possible. I am so glad GCSE in English Literature will help me through writing challenges. A grade E is surely a starting point, for improvement maybe.
