It sounds like a cheesy pop lyric from the 1980’s. You can imagine a clean cut boy next door staring whimsically out of a train window while he desperately tries to track down the missing person in his life.
Fast forward to the modern age, and this mythological song video that never was could accurately depict my current search for the missing piece of my staff jigsaw. I probably need more than one person, but you get the idea…
I really don’t know why I am bothering as I have never really had much joy via social media in the past, but I have to do something. What worries me is that we are living in an increasingly selfish society where individuals are not bonded by a common goal. There is no pride or sense of attainment in helping your fellow man. You would have thought that at £9.50 an hour there would be plenty of people willing to assist a strong willed individual to reach for the stars, but this is life in the 21st Century. You are out there somewhere, it is about time you revealed yourself.
