Save the Savage!

calumamPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago3 min read

The reason why I’m writing this post is because I have checked on @trucklifefamily and noticed that she hasn’t posted today.

I know that she’s going through a very difficult time right now and it can’t be easy to juggle that and the challenge. I want to dedicate this post for her in the hope that she is back onto the wagon tomorrow and so that her ‘Savage’ status can still be intact. Surely this can be allowed? If not I’m just going to say that she told me to post this from my account, so….

Bending the rules a little bit butt fuck it.

Now.. what to write about… well, it’s got to be about what I’ve learned about @trucklifefamily in the short time that The Beast has been rolling.

It was on the first day of the challenge, we shared comments back and forth and it was clear to me that she was as genuine as they come. Massively supportive within her comments, her posts had substance and heart to them, and her tastes in music are on the money. When she told me that she was a fan of Drum and Bass, or as she so magnificently put it...

loving the DnB threw in there, ah got be moving, I do love me some big dirty bass, nothing like it to get me up and at it

I was well chuffed.

I’ve been to a bunch of different posts where she’s been mingling in the comments sections and without fail she’s leaving outstanding replies and connecting with people. You can’t ask for much more than that from a fellow Whaler.

There is something about @trucklifefamily that makes me happy to be part of the platform.


It’s difficult when we have huge times of stress. The mind wants to keep at it but sometimes that can just make things worse. There is a massive difference between stress and pressure. Stress is not good, not after the initial cortisol call to action in any case. Pressure is a different beast, pressure goes hand in hand with job satisfaction.

I really hope that @trucklifefamily can work through the stresses of the present and come out the other side swinging. We all need a win from time to time.



So what you saying to it? She’s still a Savage, right?
