Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

One of our biggest fears is of being misunderstood or being misrepresented. This can lead to over-compensation of our weaknesses or imposters syndrome where we don’t feel we live up to our role or reputation. Fortunately, for most of us, our lives are not a matter of public record.  Who is the real me, or the real you?  In the end, saying what you mean, and meaning what you say is a good place to start. Here’s some honest to good music made by artists not afraid to speakout.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
