you know, when I grew up playing right back, in the north east first division. my manager said, “charlie son. that left winger, when he’s coming at ya, keep an eye. every third touch will be a funny one.”

jokes on him. you never know if each third year is gonna be a funny one. (now I’m a staunch left winger).

I spent this year seeing the world. feeling all the feels, hanging with all my faves. I’m learning who I was, discovering who I’m not. bringing myself closer to the things that made me feel more chez, distancing myself from the ones that had the adverse effect.

I posted this time last year about 24’. mixed bag. sour grapes. zero failures. all lessons. history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.

I’ve spoken up a lot. you’ve seen the reels. sick of them maybe. but I’m not projecting my image to protect it. to namesake an app I no longer feel pressured to use, I’m actually be-ing real. not trying to be something I’m not. or superficially appear as such because I’m addicted to the feeling of arrival, even though i’ve never felt it.

I ran my races, had my breakdowns. finish lines became starts. got muscles, got injuries. grew a tache, shaved it. laughed, cried. sang my heart out to zach bryan in hyde park and stayed silent while someone cut onions to sam fender at st james. constructed and corroborated friendships. destabilised, neglected and evicted some. new ink from the greatest artist. meeting old friends halfway up hellhole island cos that’s what you do for your brothers. a rollercoaster isn’t fun if it doesn’t go up and down. even a cute little history date with stringer rounded it off to remind how lucky I am to have every year, not just this one.

from battersea to barca, putney to positano, kennington to kos, hammersmith to hiroshima and morpeth to my mostly hope-filled heart - I did what I set out to do - keep going - and despite my trips, setbacks, i tenaciously gripped my two favourite paradigms.

sometimes active, always moving
staying true, never staying put

i’ll carry that into the next.

happy new year,
chez

28 years around the sun ☀️ Less noise, more purpose, and a clearer sense of direction.

March was exactly what it needed to be 💫

Manic May ☑️

If Carlsberg did months, May ‘25 would be right up there. Beer to kilometre ratio was probably 1:1 (170km clocked, is he finally back?). Life balance as good as it’s ever been. Unexpected wins all around. Strong indication that trying to do everything all at once might just be the best way forwards. If this is what summer has in store, I’ll take it 🤟🏻

Still reeling from last weekend so here’s some Copenhagen 🇩🇰 on film.

Trip of a lifetime with the best community. Can’t wait to relive the great moments blasting Adele and barking along to Baha Men for all the years to come.

It’s only a finish line, not the end. The dawg days are just getting started.
