Goodbye makes the journey harder still

Writer's picture: DougDoug

It’s been a while folks. I don’t know if it’s because of three things;


1. I’ve run out of things to say

2. I’m over my suicide attempt

3. I’m over her


2 of the above are true! I still continue to have bad days and I really have to work to stay happy. I’m still on the drugs and I was stupid the other day and didn’t take them for 2 days. God I felt rough, like being drunk without the pleasure of drinking. I had some horribly vivid dreams as well which were most unwelcome


I now have another 13 days on House of Dragons! I love being on set especially for Game of Thrones stuff! There’s so much I want to tell you but I am not allowed. I’m writing a diary of what happens on the set and will release it when the show airs. Lots of juicy details are contained within!


Cat Stevens provided the soundtrack to my childhood. He had so many hits there’s too many to mention. One of the lesser known tunes is called The Hurt. It’s comforting in a way to know that I’m not the only man who had his heart broken!

Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey Until I got hurt, 'til I got hurt, why didn't I I didn't think of this until I got hurt 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is


You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry But the tears you shed are only in your eye So you turn to any phony mouth with a tale to tell But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum


Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't [ I didn't think of this until I got hurt 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is


Young son, don't let me down, young son I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now Hold on, never let go, now hold on Turn your heart to the bright sun Love will come your way Cause 'till you make that final show You'll never know what love you've been missing Missing


You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone No one to help you and nobody to push you on So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on You wait for a miracle, 'cause you say one day one'll come along ( But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now ! You might be gone I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong


Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I I didn't think of this until I got hurt 'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
