My mind makes life a candy store.
Hungry for the sweetest thing in every waking moment.
They say it’s how my brain is wired.
I lived long enough to know better than that.
There’s nothing wrong with liking your favorite flavor.
But we get force-fed our flavors every day.
We can find them instantly with a google search.
This ease is what made my craving so strong.
I wish I didn’t need my daily dose.
That I preferred something more nutritious.
Something better for my heart and brain.
I wish I didn’t see them this way.
Constantly looking like they’re bright neon signs.
I wish I never liked candy at all.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.
