About x40

X40 (aka [ProjectME] or “The Masterplan”) is a personal journal of the re-discovery of myself. Following a somewhat forced period of self-isolation and internal battling with the black dog, I found myself having to hibernate away from the world as a matter of self-preservation.

Now following a personal breakthrough just before new years eve in 2021, I have found a renewed energy and wish to start to find a way to re-emerge from inside and re-discover what is on offer in the outside world.

Want to know more? Read about the origins of x40 here.
