Writing Idea - Chapter Two

 Aimia and Steve set off along Rowan Street, heading towards town.

Steve noted that he and Aimia shared the exact same pace. He couldn't tell if she was matching him, or vice versa.

"So, where does your closes friend live?" Steve asked

"My closest friend would be Kelly, she lives two streets down, with her two kids, I know her through work and she and I have been mates for about two years. We don't catch up all the time, but when we do we have a great chat"

"Ah cool". Steve replied. "Where do you work?"

"At the local council. I've been working there for about 4 years now. I used to live in Brisbane but I moved back home to be near mum and dad. Thought - why not enjoy the time with them while they're still young enough to have fun and stuff"

"Cool. You said you moved back four years ago?" Steve asked

"Yeah, why, does that ring a bell with you?"

"I dunno..." Steve said "I can't quite put my finger on it but something about what you said sounds familiar. Maybe there's someone I know who did that too. I mean, moving back home is pretty common so..."

"Well if anything I say sounds like it might be... familiar, let me know because it might be relevant in some way".

"Where did you grow up Steve?"

"I was a foster child, so I moved around a bit. I eventually ended up meeting my dad but he wasn't really in the kind of state that made me want to keep seeking him out. He's homeless. I don't know where he is anymore, he kept moving around different parts of Melbourne and I lost track of him".

"I'm sorry to hear that Steve"

"Thanks Aimia, It's not great, but it could be much worse.

Sexual Assault and Obesity, Weight Loss 2020 and Personal Lessons

 I was just watching a video from the show 'My 600lb life'. It strikes me that there's a common occurrence of these people having gone through sexual trauma in their childhood. I was sexually assaulted the first time I had penetrative sex with another man, he being the insertional partner. From then, I gained weight, and it's been a struggle to not associate my appearance with being 'protected' from sexual assault again.  My assault was a one time thing, although I had to wait 6 months for a HIV test to come back - thankfully negative - but I empathise with these people who were mistreated. Especially as kids - at a time in their lives when they don't have the capacity to communicate properly to those around them a) that they're in a bad situation and b) how it's making them feel. Expression and Communication are two themes that hold steady in my life. I don't tell people what I need enough. Take this weekend for example. A friend of mine came up...
