Ive heard sime cynics dismiss seasonal affective disorder as a made-up condition, but I know from first hand experience that its real. Since the suns been out my mood has been lifted & Ive had so much more energy & motivation. Yesterday I made a big batch of chocolate brownies then took my drum to Canon Hill Park for a percussion jam, before heading to The Sun on the Hill with Bash Funkadelik where I made some new friends. Today I went for a jog for the 1st time in 8 months. Im now getting ready to perform at the Library of Birmingham for Words of Art, the intergenerational poetry project Ive been helping Aysha Begum, Laura Rdm Beatfreeks WM & Matt Windle with. Tomorrow Im doing an acoustic gig at The Adam & Eve in Digbeth with Seventh Syndicate (Gav Moran &John Lowe), then Wednesday I have training for this weekends Stereolab event at the Mac. This project is important to me as its using art as a tool to create dialogue concerning mental health issues in an attempt to challenge the social stigma surrounding mental illness. If I can use my experiences to help or inspire just one person then it will be worth it.
