Three Years

Three years ago my Granddad passed away, one of the influences of my writing. To be honest, both of my late grandfathers helped me become a storyteller by nature and nurture. On my fathers side, my granddad would often tell me stories. On my mother’s side, the creativity.

The fish hook is for my Granddad on my mother’s side specifically. It is a nod to all the letters he sent with a fish hook drawn after he signed his name.

Intensely creative, a non conformist and a great inspiration.

So, yeah I miss him, but I feel like I have gotten to know him more since his passing, I feel more connected to him. Which is a little bitter sweet.

I got this tattoo the year he passed… the first tattoo I ever got. The phrase, “Promitto Memorari” is significant, those of you who read my work a lot will notice I tend to embed it into quite a few projects. Most importantly it will play a huge feature into the Big Project. It will be thoroughly significant to that story. That will be something to look forward to finding out the where the why and the how it will play into things.

I want the people, places and things I love most to be embedded into my writing because it is just as important.

So today, I am thinking about and missing my Granddad but I know that he is safe, happy and watching over me and making sure I don’t make too many stupid decisions, or at least I hope he is.

The Diary of Elliot Parker

.: Entry Fourty :.

My name is Elliot Parker.

I am making progress emotionally. I am taking steps and leaps and bounds up the emotional scale. I am deliberately creating these better moods. I enjoy creating the better moods, the positive momentum to what it is I am desiring. I want positive things in my life. I want happiness.

What are my desires? What are my goals? My goal is to feel good. My desire? It is of course to feel good. It is my dominant intent to feel good.

So what do I believe? What are my practiced knowing’s that have turned into beliefs? I believe that everything is always working out for me. I believe that there is nothing I cannot see or do or want that I cannot have. I believe that what I want and desire is flowing to me. I believe that I am coming into a more consistent alignment with what I am wanting. I believe that there is an abundance flowing to me and through me.

What abundance? An abundance of happiness, an abundance of feeling good, an abundance of good things, an abundance of wanted desires. What else? An abundance of love, of hope, of relief, of joy of elation, of anticipation and of excitement. What else? An abundance of wellness, wellbeing, health. What else? An abundance of love, of joy, of attraction, of excitement, of expansive wonderful desires all that are wanted in my experience. An abundance of freedom, financial freedom, financial abundance. An abundance of creativity, an abundance of positive attention and intention.

Why did I do a mini rampage? For one reason, it felt so darn good.

My name is Elliot Parker. I regularly remind myself of this attractive wonderful rampage that flows what I desire to me. It feels good to just know that I am a deliberate creator. It feels good to know that I am creating my experience. It feels good to know that there are no limitations, that no matter what it is I am desiring, wanting that it has been created. There is the truth of it. I do believe in the law of attraction. I believe in love. I believe in joy and hope and relief. I believe in anticipation and knowing. I believe that the universe has said yes to what I am desiring.

So here is something amazing that people forget. We are made of particles, teeny tiny little atoms. The same things that form stars and galaxies, we are made of the stuff that creates universes. We are made of the energies that creates spectacular things, stars and planets and galaxies, and these particular pieces of the universe, these atoms chose to become you. That’s right, you are made of the universe just like I am, we chose to come into this experience.

I am sure that there will be some that disagree and want to call this crazy but who cares. I am sure that there are others who hope and dream of being part of something big. But here is what we have forgotten, we are already part of something big.

For so many years I lived in the discontent of feeling trapped in my life when I felt something bigger calling to me. What was calling to me? The truth that I am already part of something bigger.

That is how I know things are getting better. That is how I know that my dreams are growing just as I am.

I love being a deliberate creator.

What do I want to create next? I want to finish knitting this jumper I have been knitting for the last year and a half that I keep putting off. I like knitting, it creates something but it is also relaxing and fun and it can put you into a meditative stance when you have gathered enough experience whereby you no longer have to concentrate. I enjoy that. I enjoy knitting away and finding the momentum of what may have been troubling me slowing and losing its hold on the energy I am emitting. My point of attraction changes as I shift my energy to a place of ease.

Something that I realised recently, I grew up catholic. In the last few years I have gone from that point of belief to finding a looser term of what I believe. I have come to a new belief system, one that feels good, that I agree with. Now if I am asked to consider my religion or spirituality what would I affiliate with? I am spiritual, that is as far as I want to define it. I believe in the law of attraction. I believe that everything is always working out for me. I believe that what I am made of, what made me, what I chose to become part of has a pure positive focus and is filled with love. That is to say that there is no battle of duality in the way that it is conventional. There is a battle of wanted and not wanted, there is a battle of alignment and misalignment. But it is easy to figure out where you are, because you either feel good and know your aligned with pure positive energy or you don’t. When you don’t feel good, you find yourself wanting to feel good and so it becomes your intention to feel good.

It really is that simple.

Or in even more basic terms… the better you feel, the more you look for good things, the more you find them. It is your intention of finding good things to feel good about that brings those good things to come to be.

What you look for you will see. So what are you looking for? What is it that you are desiring to see?

So yes this diary entry is literally just my own rampage, my own place to rampage and feel good and bring myself into a better understanding of what I believe, I wanted to test what I believe and what I want to believe in. Now I know. I believe, I know that I am a deliberate creator. I am allowing my energy to align with my desires.

The Diary of Elliot Parker

.: Entry Thirty-Nine :.

My name is Elliot Parker.

I am a deliberate creator. I am at a loss of what to say. I know that everything is always working out for me, I know that I am creating my own future.

Recently, there have been moments, when speaking to Adrian I can see a true reflection of what is being held for me in my desires awaiting my true and best alignment. I can see the effort being made. The offers, the position of crossing the bridge. For the first time in a long time rather than saying “I am making no promises”, when I asked Adrian if what he said is a promise he said “yes” not the age old response I had come to get used to. I was sincerely really happy at the general progress. It was lovely to have made that step forward. Another step forward, was greatly appreciated.

That wasn’t the only moment recently that made me smile thanks to Adrian. He sent me photos of the apartment he has been looking at… It looks good. I mean he didn’t have to show me, and I appreciate the asking of my opinion it was a kind thing to do and ask. It was a cute apartment; I wouldn’t have said no to living in an apartment that looked like that. It’s quite easy to imagine working on my stuff at the dining table, cooking an experimental dinner in the kitchen and sitting curled up on the sofa knitting… It would probably be how I would live in an apartment that looked like that. I don’t mean that under the assumption of living with him, I meant that just under the assumption on living in an apartment that looked like that, though I wouldn’t be averse to living with him.

Another smiley moment? The invitation to go see him for a little while. He is away for work and his concern would be that I would get bored but that’s ok, because I am pretty good at entertaining myself. I would like to go visit him out there. I’d probably be a total pain in the ass, but it would be quite fun to just enjoy chilling out with him. Relaxing is something we have always been able to do around each other. Even if I do occasionally tell him off, I still find myself knowing that with him I am my truest self, the me that I want to be, the best that I want to be. So yes I do enjoy spending time with him.

My name is Elliot Parker, the truth is yeah I still really love Adrian, I strongly think that there will never be a day where that is not the case.

What does that mean for the Jonas thing? Well a crush that didn’t develop or get nurtured. Truth is well, we don’t really talk anymore, it’s just that now I have been making decisions to focus positively on my life and in that and in my absence in attention to our conversation the momentum waned and failed and that’s ok. It is good to have known and conversed in a way that expanded my opinions. I am happy that nothing happened and it didn’t progress, it means we can still be friends. It means that I can still expand my views and opinions.

That’s the thing though isn’t it, people come into our lives for a reason. They can bring new truths, make us better people, inspire us they can do so much to change us as people. We are always lead to those who help us most to grow, that is of course if we let them. So some goodbyes, even those that remain unsaid, like the fading of a conversation, that is ok. That’s the thing, I am always aiming to change for the better. I want to change for good.

I have already changed so much… For those of you who might not be aware of this, I have attended counselling on and off for about a year and a half now. The person who first walked into the counsellor’s room, someone who was broken and severely depressed no longer exists. My counsellor agrees. Yes, I still go. It helps, even when you are feeling better, you can go less often or top it up when you need it. But yes I found it truly helpful. I would give myself homework at first. I would try to keep a diary; each day I would write three positive things that I witnessed in that day. It sounds silly and simple. But it took looking for something good in each day to find it, at first it was small and inconsequential and after a while it grew. The world went from darkness to a spark of something brighter. And the more I looked for good the more I found it and the more the spark grew. That’s the thing once you build positive momentum when I suppose you can say you fell off of the wagon of happiness it can be a bit easier to find the spark again because you knew you could do it because you found it before. Yeah that is a long sentence. But it is important to understand that contrast is momentary when the positive momentum is what you are building in other areas of your life.

My name is Elliot Parker.

Counselling helped me. I am different to what I was. I am no longer holding myself responsible for everyone else’s happiness. The only happiness I am responsible for is mine.

Honestly yesterday, I was upset, in a bad mood. I decided before I went to bed that I had no intention of bringing that day onwards it’s negative momentum would be put to rest that night while I slept and the next day I would start the day from a place of positive momentum. And do you know what? That decision happened I got what I wanted and started the day from a fresh point of attraction, a positive point of attraction.

Author Update (March 2017)

Hiya Guys!

So here we are, coming to the close of March. The Diary of Elliot Parker has returned!!! Not that I am happy about that or anything…

So what have I binge watched lately? The Originals, the spin off from the Vampire Diaries. It’s not too bad. I have been finding it a bit hard at the moment to write. I am working on more of The Diary of Elliot Parker and of course, getting to work on that big project, the massive thing that is taking a tonne of time and thought to do but I am enjoying it truely.

Guitar is going ok, slow progress is still progress. I woke up the other day and had lyrics in my head that I just had to write down, with a little tweak I really loved them. I guess when it comes to writing a song, weirdly, the lyrics arrive before the melody. What comes of being a writer I suppose? I got addicted to the Ed Sheeran songs, he is certainly a talent I admire. Even if I couldn’t get hold of tickets.

Yet another month battling procrastination, writers block and general life chaos. I need to focus more on The Diary of Elliot Parker, the temptation to write the big project over The Diary of Elliot Parker is much bigger. Still not particularly changed the nickname of the big project and to be honest, I still find it has a life of its own, it keeps throwing me curve balls, so who knows.

The big project is certainly a challenge sometimes, where it has come to develop a life of its own I skirt that fine line between wanting the follow the plot very carefully and being true to the characters. I know it is one of those things I shouldn’t complain about. But the story is being co-operative to a degree. It is letting me explore the characters and get inside their heads and when they are ready, they are happy to follow the plot. It is quite a lovely experience.

This month was certainly an experience!

I went to my second funeral this month, RIP Josh. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. He will be so very missed. It was a beautiful send off for a beautiful soul.

I’ve not been doing much writing. I’ve been doing some physio and I end up more exhausted and drained than usual.

I feel like I should start properly planning my nanowrimo project soon. So one step at a time. The inspiration will come for it. I want to get the first book of The Big Project done first though.

I have been thinking about changing this site slightly. I am thinking about possibly doing some new ideas, things I want to add, so that might happen some time in the Summer on the other side of my birthday. I’ll have to see where the inspiration leads.

So I started a diet in the middle of the month last month. The hope was to at least loose 10 kilos or more before the end of March. I have lost just over a kilo and just over an inch off of my waist… not as successful as I had hoped. But something is better than nothing.

Of course I need to throw a little plug in for The Diary of Elliot Parker 🙂

The Diary of Elliot Parker is out now!!! I am happy that it’s now launched. If you haven’t already, catch up on the whole of the first part of The Diary of Elliot Parker so that this part makes a tiny bit more sense- no guarantees on much sense of Elliot in this part, a wee bit of a confusion cloud is setting in.

And as always… I just want to remind you that there are books that are open, and available to you. So here is the link to my amazon author page, why not see if something takes your fancy?

May luck and adventure be on your side!

The Diary of Elliot Parker

.: Entry Thirty-Eight :.

My name is Elliot Parker.

Something odd happened with Adrian recently. More than just one something actually. It has played on my mind a tiny bit. So here it is…

The first weird thing, was I had a weird dream, like weird but accidental. I had a dream that Adrian was adamant he wanted to teach me how to use a vape. Like how odd? I don’t smoke and never have but for some reason he wanted me to try this vape thing. I woke up and I sent him a message “Why did I dream that you tried to teach me how to vape.” His response gave me a giggle, in a way. Well his vape machine, the one he is fond of broke and he was mad. So basically I had that stupid dream because he was mad that his vape machine broke. Seriously?

Something else that was a bit odd?

Well, I got rather excited about something that I have been working on online. So I spread my excitement and told Adrian. He found the project and somehow instantly found one of the things that was about him, but not just anything, the one with the story of how we met and how I felt about things when we met. Of all the things? Well, he sent me that back, when I asked why he was sending me that I asked why. I never got my answer. But I did get a change of topic. So if he does stumble on my diary on here, and knows that he is reading about him, and that he has probably gotten mad at some of the things that I have felt or ranted about on here, and if he has carried on reading and has seen this, I still feel that way. That way of how we met. My heart still skips a beat. No matter how I try to distract myself I still can’t help but smile seeing his name. Picturing his lips when he smiles all goofy at me.

So yes. Strange that page was chosen when there were so many to choose from, almost honed in on it. Odd. But yes, if the question on the mind of his was “do you still feel that way?” Yes.

My name is Elliot Parker. I am a deliberate creator. I am deliberately creating a jackpot win on the lottery. I know what car I would love to get when I win, it’s a used car but I know what colour and what make and for the first time I saw the exact car that I want when I found myself in a place of calm alignment, my little cherry red car that I want. Since then I’ve been seeing that particular model here and there. The one thing I did was have a little look online and now I know what tone of cherry would be my most optimum colour that I desire. That and I know exactly what house I want with my lottery win. It’s one that I stumbled on and since then I have been working out what I want to do in each and every room. The most ultimate thing is the super-giant bed I want. A girl is not stupid; a girl knows she wants a huge comfy giant bed. Sure I could probably choose a nice king size bed and get other furniture in and what have you but a wall to wall right across the room size bed sounds perfect to me. I don’t know how or why and it’s not particularly practical but it is the dream bed even if I know I would probably stick to one zone of the bed. Perhaps I should re-think this after all. I just thought that it would be a great sneaky storage space. Sneaky storage just sounds like a fun think to put into the house. It’s big enough that it would be comfortable to have guest’s stay over and not necessarily have to see them in the day. But that is just me being anti-social. I’d want to turn one of the bedrooms into a storage handy zone where its ok to bath the dog and make a mess. Store cleaning equipment and things like that so that they are out of the way. The dining room I want to convert a bit so that I can have a mini extension space of the kitchen even if it is in a separate room. Like somewhere to hide the tumble and washer and somewhere to put the food so that people can help themselves when I am rarely social. A bit like a breakfast table in the room with the dining table. There could be room for counter top cooking like stuff that you order off of the shopping channels. Why not?

I am so eager and excited for that to manifest. Like I can feel and see the evidence of its manifestation amassing. I am comfortable with that knowing it is ready when I am. I am eager for the unfolding of my desires, particularly those involving the lottery jackpot (and house) and this sense and feeling I have in the air about Adrian. There is just something that is telling me that his walls are melting down between his conscious and subconscious, perhaps there will soon be a time when he can feel comfortable enough for that conversation I can feel that hangs in the air like a fog that never lifts.

My name is Elliot Parker, I am an eager and excited deliberate creator. There is a this exciting and creative world and it feels like the universe likes sending me these messages, the dreams that just tells me one very important thing, everything is always working out for me. However I like to interpret these cheeky little messages and nods from the universe telling me, no shouting at me “you are coming into your best alignment with all that you desire.”
