The Self Indulgence Of Me 

By Liam Walker 

Since I was born on the 10/8/1969 I have deliberately gone about my life
the way it suits me. Some might off argued or put their point of view 
across to me but that did not change me. I have never listened to 
parents or friends that is until now, as I have now woke up and smelt 
the aroma of the coffee. 

When or where or why did I happen to change my self indulgence you may
ask. Well I will tell you, but if I am honest I have only changed 
ninety five percent out of one hundred I am afraid to say. One morning 
I woke up after a heavy drinking session with a few friends and on that 
morning it was raining very heavily outside my home. So I decided that 
I would not bother going in to work at all that day, that was my old 
attitude you see, I used to be dark, angry and cold. 

All I cared about on that morning was me, not work or my
responsibilities. Why you may ask well I will tell you why. For the 
last ten years my life had become a daily grind, I was just another rat 
in the race. Life had become an exhausting daily and weekly routine. 
This was the way my life was five days a week and I was becoming tired 
of it all. 

Most of my day for nine hours in fact was at work. Then a quick dash
around the local supermarket after work. After this I went home at last 
were I showered and ate a ready meal. The trouble was my Life had 
become a boring and dull routine, some people might like their lives to 
be led this way but not me. How did it all change you may ask, well the 
day I phoned in I sat down and thought about my sad life all day long. 

After much deep thought all day long I decided enough was enough I had
to make changes to my life before it was to late. All my life I admit I 
had been a selfish person with little care for charity or other people. 
It was time for change so I logged on to the internet. 

On the internet I read about volunteer jobs working in parts of Africa.
In Africa you cant just go to the kitchen for a glass of water. These 
poor people have to walk all day for food or water, we have life to 
easy and we still moan all day about how hard our lives are in England. 
Everyone of us should stop and think how easy our lives are in this 
country but we don't we just carry on in our own little worlds until we 
see the television screens with poverty and deprivation all over the 
screen. 

On the internet I found myself a new volunteering job which give you
food and shelter for two years whilst helping to help the villagers 
become self sufficient in their village. This would be a really 
rewarding job and it would change me and my life forever, I would no 
longer be such a self indulgent and selfish man anymore. Finally I 
would become a good member of society and be accepted by everyone, I 
would become a new me. 

After two whole years of doing remarkable work in Africa I returned home
to England a new person. All things in my life were the way they should 
be now and I had time to build myself a new life at last. 

The End
