Say "YES" to everything for a week

Fuck it, I have tanked, failed, given up. I just don’t have the money for it. I don’t have the cash for tickets, for flights, to take time off work, to afford to not pay off my other debts. And it has taken the wind out of my sails having to say no. I’m still trying to say yes to more things but not to everything, better luck next year.

A run this morning around Belfast Hills sounded like a good idea. Checking the weather before leaving the house would have been a better idea. The clouds seemed to fall from the sky to the point that I could not see 10m infront of me. I got lost, very lost. Six hours later I found a road and made it back to civilisation. Due to my lack of interaction with the world all day I wasn’t given many opportunities to say yes. I thought that I had made it through the day safe and sound, until my sister phoned, from America.

“Michael it’s so good out here, you should really come out. I’m free from 20th August to 7 September, do it do it do it! Go, you have to come.”

Fuck. If that’s not an invitation I don’t know what is. It’s quite a big ask, and on my first day. I litterally don’t have enough cash to even book flights to America, but I said YES.

Other than that, facebook invited me to Eurocultured July 18/19th, YES, Wil Hodgson July 27th, YES, my mates birthday party in London 17th July, more flights, YES, HFT @ Festival Sunart France, more flights, phew, this event has already passed. And finally I joined the group Stillpoint.

It’s 12.15am on the 11th of July, officially the start of my yes week. I imagine that this week will prove to be quite expensive and I am currently running low on funds but I’m going to try it the best that I can.

Excited!!

I have started to say yes to more things and it seems to be working out, but I thought it would be fun to say yes to everything, if only for a week. My week is going to start on July 11th, my birthday, and if it is successful, I’ll do it from the 11th to the 17th every year.
