Boots Still On

One bloke’s journey back to himself.

What if you woke up one day and didn’t recognise who you’d become?
What if, despite your achievements, you realised you’d been living for everyone else – and the real you had quietly slipped out the back door?
Boots Still On is an open, honest, and still unfolding account of one man’s return to himself, using the mental health tools he picked up through years of work as a therapist, the power of creative writing, and a deliberate remembering of the things that once enriched, grounded, and even saved his life when he was a younger man.

It’s never too late to find yourself again.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which I live, work and travel, and recognise their deep spiritual, emotional, and physical connection to land, community, and water. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, who hold the memories, knowledge, and traditions of this country. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and I stand in solidarity.

I also acknowledge the LGBTIQA+ communities and recognise their strength, visibility, and commitment to inclusivity. I am proud to stand with this community.

Last, but never least, I acknowledge all those living with mental health challenges. I honour your strength, your courage, and your resilience. You are not alone.
