More honesty. More kindness. More conversations that matter. Less shouting into the void. Trying to make this corner of X a little more human. #MoreManKind

QOTD: It’s funny how we can spend years thinking we know exactly what we want, only to change our minds completely.
I used to think that meant I’d got something wrong. Now I believe it just means I’m not the same person I was ten years ago. And that’s probably a good thing. #QuoteOfTheDay

We tell men to speak up, but do we always make it easy for them?
I’ve written about why so many men stay silent about domestic abuse and the important work of the ManKind Initiative.

QOTD: The older I get, the more I realise I don’t always need to have the last word.
I can disagree with someone without needing to change their mind. And they don’t have to agree with me either.
Sometimes it’s better to leave it there. Life’s too short to turn every difference of opinion into a battle. #QuoteOfTheDay

QOTD: I’ve never understood why we treat changing direction as a failure. Sometimes you get halfway through something and realise it’s not for you. Surely that’s better than carrying on just to prove a point?
Unless you’ve joined the wrong queue at Tesco. Then you’re committed.

QOTD: I love how kids can ask a perfectly sensible question and leave a room full of adults looking completely clueless. 😂
Perhaps we should all ask more questions instead of pretending we know everything.
Although I’d still like to know why we call it rush hour when nobody’s bloody moving!

QOTD: Why do we always say we’ll do things when life calms down?
I’m starting to think that’s a load of crap. There’s always something going on, isn’t there? Might as well get on with enjoying ourselves rather than waiting for the perfect moment.
Knowing my luck, when life finally calms down I’ll be too knackered to get off the sofa. 😂

QOTD: I think one of the nicest things about getting older is realising you don’t have to be good at everything.
You can try something new, be absolutely rubbish at it and still have a brilliant time.
Although these days, one cartwheel could put me on the NHS waiting list. 😂 #QuoteOfTheDay

QOTD: I’ve noticed how some people can’t enjoy a good thing without worrying about when it’ll go wrong.
I’ve been guilty of that myself.
Life throws enough rubbish at us without inventing problems that haven’t happened yet.
Sometimes it’s alright to just enjoy being happy.

QOTD: Funny how the people who make the biggest difference in your life are often the ones who don’t even realise it.
A random message, remembering something you said weeks ago or just checking you’re alright.
If someone came to mind reading this, maybe tell them. ❤️

QOTD: Not everything needs fixing. Sometimes things just need a bit of time.
We’re so used to wanting answers straight away that we’ve forgotten how to leave things alone.
Not every problem needs a meeting, a spreadsheet or seventeen WhatsApp messages. #QuoteOfTheDay

QOTD: It’s funny how we’ll forgive other people for making mistakes but spend years beating ourselves up over our own.
You did what you thought was right at the time. Maybe you got it wrong. Maybe you made a complete bloody mess of it.
You’re allowed to move on too.

QOTD: We spend so much time looking forward to the next big thing that we forget how lovely the boring bits can be.
A laugh with someone you love, a decent dinner, getting home and putting your feet up.
Sometimes a bloody ordinary day is all you need. ❤️ #quoteoftheday
A 1957 wedding album was found dumped outside a café in Wakefield. Instead of binning it, the owners and a local history detective tracked down the couple’s son, who thought he’d lost those photos forever. Some people are just lovely. ❤️

I’m bringing back QOTD.
A little thought for the day. Sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes something you might need to hear.
No motivational bollocks or pretending we’ve all got life figured out.
Just a few words to make us think. ❤️
