A poem I've written about how I feel about the recent events in my life

Poem name: In The End Is Freedom

Aother day lost,

At the bottom,

Of a bottle,

The fire that burned,

In my heart,

I tried to rekindle,

They dwindled into ashes,

Yet another day lost,

Now nothing more,

Than a bitter frost

Another day gone,

When I drowned my sorrow,

Again,

The nighttime bleeds,

Into day,

Every now and then,

I catch sight,

Of my own reflection,

I feel a little spark,

But time just carries on

Waking up to another day,

In this world,

Where shadows reign,

Every street I walk down,

Just a swarm of empty faces,

In times like these I miss my cocaine,

Trying to find reasons,

To stay,

I'm living in an endless twilight,

Where the sky's perpetually grey

Another day passes by,

Where I clutch my cure like a lifeline,

I need saving from myself,

I need to let it out,

Open up,

Let it shine,

Time to let go,

To soar high,

I think it's time,

To grow my wings and fly

Another night,

Another time,

A brand new day,

Now it's time to let it shine,

To find my way back to the light,

Now,

I must away,

And that's alright,

Now's the time,

I win my fight

I'm attempting to grow a moringa tree (well, multiple trees) in a climate like NW England.

I'm curious to see what happens.

Just some of the 3D origami models I've made in the past year.

I'm my own worst critic. People say they're amazing but I'm not so sure.

I just felt like sharing them here. ✌️

Make Taxis Across England Carry Portable AEDs (automatic defibrillators)

Issue taxis with fully-automatic, portable AEDs (automatic electronic defibrillators) in order to give people who've had a cardiac arrest a greater chance of survival.

Taxis have already been issued with RAPAID bandages to help people who have been stabbed. I think AEDs are equally important. Those same taxis should carry portable AEDs. It's already happened in Glasgow (to a select number of) taxis, but this needs to happen across England too. Just by having select taxis carry them, it'll massively help in saving lives.

Having lost someone close to me, which was made much worse due to a delay in the arrival of paramedics, I think having more defibrillators around will save lives.

Having them in taxis will drastically increase the survival rate of someone in cardiac arrest, as there will be far more defibrillators able to be utilised by the public when on the street. "A defibrillator should be possible to fetch within 4 minutes (2 minutes there and 2 back). [...] That means the defibrillator should be 200 metres from where it's needed [as this is the average distance a person travels in 2 minutes]" (British Heart Foundation 2023).
