TREV

Updated: Dec 9, 2023

Meet the enigmatic soul called Trev.


He appears laidback, a happy-go-lucky, down-to-earth, strikingly tall, lanky young chap, a bit retro, resilient, full of life, with a wacky sense of humour & childlike enthusiasm.


He is creative, a loner, a little left of field, an over-thinker, too much in his own head, a free thinker, an outsider, a passionate, simple old soul, a hopeless romantic.


You may think him a bit vague, or even standoffish, & maybe even at times a tad peculiar. But he is the one you look for when you enter a crowded room, need to be put at ease, or your confidence boosted. He is like that worn-in oversized flannel check shirt, those worn-out old socks on a cold winter’s day that somehow makes everything seem ok.


Without a word, he sees you, feels you, does not judge you. He has your back, even though he knows you don't see him; hear him.


He is a man of few words; small talk tends to bore him; he’s a daydream believer, a big-picture thinker; his honesty can be brutal; however, he in no way means to harm you. He is a loyal, empathic, loving, compassionate soul.


He lives a life of simple pleasures, in awe of a life he never imagined, thankful for the blessing he has been afforded, grateful for every second of every day for he knows not everyone should be so fortunate. He sees the beauty in the strangest of things, the light in the darkest of hours, the power of letting go, the strength in authenticity.


He is not the type to stand out, to put on airs & graces; he simply, & quietly blends in with his surroundings, silently spellbound, mindfully watching, mesmerised, immersed by the intensity, & richness of his atmosphere.


He lives in a world where his feelings are pure, so intense, so overwhelming, like a turtle with no shell; even the slightest of touches can cause severe pain. He loves with profound intensity, unconditionally, & beyond words.


Beneath the surface, he precariously teeters on a razor's edge, a symphony of contradictions shrouded in enigma. Every second of every day, he wrestles with a cyclone of emotions that rage within, a turbulent storm that threatens to engulf his very essence.

He wears a tapestry woven from the strands of immense pain, a patchwork of rejection, neglect, disappointment, & hidden scars. These demons, like hungry beasts, gnaw at the corners of his consciousness, seeking solace in the shadows.


It's not just the demons he wrestles with but the suffocating tapestry of shame that threatens to smother his soul; the fear of abandonment that looms like an unrelenting spectre, its icy grip sending shivers down his spine; the deep gnawing of self-loathing, an unyielding self-critic perpetually nibbles at his self-esteem.


In the darkest recesses of his soul, he encounters a void, a bottomless chasm of emptiness that defies description As though the universe itself has folded in on itself, leaving him adrift in a sea of nothingness.


He safeguards his heart with impenetrable walls, as high as mighty mountain tops, as dense as the vast void between planets, forged, refusing to surrender to a lifetime of darkness. Breaking through them isn't easy, but once you're inside, you'll discover a treasure worth cherishing.


He has his head high in the clouds where time has no meaning. He has his foot in his mouth more often than not, can go from zero to 100 in under a second. A bit of a rascal, a misfit to boot, & while he may be impulsive, a tad haphazard, erratic, & even a bit dim-witted; when he sees you smile, his heart goes wild.


He's been through more than most could fathom, but none of that matters because it is worth every sunrise & every sunset to see you smile. He would give you the world if you asked him to.


He will never change.....
