Be aware and stay safe

I’m not much of a news fan.

But the last few days have been insane.

I won’t go into detail, but here in the UK it just seems to be getting worse as the days go on.

(and yes there are also people who will be like “BUT YOU STILL HAVE IT GOOD HERE, LOOK AT ALL THE WAR AND TERRIBLE THINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!!!)

While that is valid. I’m not living there and I’m blessed to be where I am now, it still doesn’t negate the fact that this is all happening though…

I have friends, colleagues and clients who live incredibly close to where all of these things have happened. The sad thing is that nothing will be done about it.

It’ll make headlines and then that’s it. It just vanishes.

And as much as I’d like to say that I’m going to stay here forever, myself and a few friends are heavily considering getting out of England sooner than later.

It also annoys me that there’s so much opportunity here, yet why would you stay if every year the cities you want to visit get more dangerous and overrun with thugs?

Anyways. That’s enough of this rant.

My thoughts are with the families that have been affected by what has happened lately and I’m glad things got stopped before it got way worse than it did.

If you’re out and about, especially around Christmas time coming up. Just be aware and stay safe.

I’m always optimistic that things will get better, it’s just hard because we’re like “When?”
