AN ARTICLE A DAY FOR 30 DAYS:
I attempted a 30-day challenge over the past month to write and publish an article daily, drawing inspiration from my thoughts and past experiences. While I didn’t quite reach the goal, I completed 21 articles in 23 days, I was simultaneously producing six lengthy videos (over 45 minutes each) and also worked four twelve-hour shifts. I write freely and impulsively, sharing my current thoughts on my blog. While the topics may appear diverse, they’re usually rooted in my own life and what I notice around me. I’ve paused the writing challenge to prioritise rest before diving into future video projects.

Following a busy month delivering content – including publishing 20 articles on my blog and 6 YouTube videos – I'm stepping away from social media for a short break. With school holidays here, my filming schedule naturally slows, allowing me to recharge, connect with family, and strategise for future projects. I’ll be using this downtime to record product reviews and prep for more Outdoorsy videos, alongside enjoying personal hobbies like biking and photography.

I'll likely share travel photos occasionally, but I'm taking a break from writing for a bit, and this final article is particularly thoughtful.

"If I am in a relationship, I give my all; if the relationship fails, the friendship is lost" – isn't just a boundary; it's a sincere reflection of how you engage with love and connection. Let's explore why that sentiment resonates so powerfully and why, for some, going back to "just friends" after intimacy feels not just difficult, but fundamentally impossible.

It's a question I am often asked, Do I get lonely?

Confusing Boredom with Loneliness:
It's like being in a vast, dark, empty space, feeling the chill of its emptiness, and instinctively believing you're lonely because no one else is there. But the true void isn't a lack of people; it's the absence of music, art, or the sounds of your own purposeful activity filling the space.

That first step out of bed in the morning – for some, it's a stretch. For me, and countless others living with osteoarthritis (OA) in both knees, it's often a carefully calculated manoeuvre, a wince-inducing moment that sets the tone for the day. OA isn't just an ache; it's a constant, often unpredictable, companion that impacts nearly every aspect of daily life.

An estimated 10 million people (6 million women, 4 million men) in the UK have OA, with an estimated 5.4 million people affected by knee OA and 3.2 million by hip OA.

Welcome, fellow adventurers and curious souls! Have you ever felt the unyielding pull of the wild, or the silent beckoning of history? You’ve landed in the right place. Here, amidst these digital pages, I invite you to join me on a personal journey, a place where the scent of country air, the whisper of water, and the echoes of bygone eras converge. This is my space to share the stories, insights, and pure joy found in the rhythmic dipping of a kayak paddle, the satisfying crunch of boots on a hiking trail, the peace of a night spent under a canopy of stars, and the profound wonder of exploring a place steeped in time. Pull up a virtual chair, and let's explore together!

My blog post, “Beyond the Keyboard,” published yesterday, is resonating with readers and gaining popularity. While focused on navigating negativity on YouTube, the advice offered applies to online harassment across various platforms, and I hope it helps others dealing with trolls and hate online.

Tired after two long 12-hour weekend shifts, I logged onto YouTube and was immediately confronted with several negative comments – the kind left by “haters” who thrive on negativity, insults, and unproductive criticism, sometimes escalating to threats. It’s a disheartening experience, and in my article, I explore the psychology behind these online attacks and offer strategies for navigating them on YouTube and other social media platforms.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
Life is like a river, whose overall course flows
relentlessly forward towards a distant horizon.
Yet whose actual path on the ground is an
intricate dance of bends, rapids, and eddies,
constantly reshaping its journey.

About Me

Check out my website at www.DavidWilsonOutandAbout.co.uk

Welcome to my David Wilson Out & About page, I am simply an older man sharing my thoughts and passion for photography and cinematography.

Like many people, I have lived life in the fast lane, juggling family life, work, and much of my leisure time as a practising martial artist and instructor.

In 2015, fast approaching 60, I decided to slow the pace down a bit by introducing a few more leisurely hobbies into my life such as aerial cinematography and photography, however, this was soon joined by hiking and flat water kayaking.
