    Looked at loads of photos which had me and my Nan in them in a photo album that had a lot when I was about 13 & about 6 & others up to date ones on my dads Facebook. Was really nice remembering but kinda upsetting she is no longer alive 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    My sister has got a new job as a care assistant. Really happy for her.

    But I feel like my family are ashamed of me. But at same time is kinda motivating for me. As my sister is doing the same as me as working in retail and now will only be me which I will like better tbh and hopefully maybe will motivate me more to leave & find something else

    Ok so I hadn’t updated my phone since about this time last year and I wondered why it was going so slow and the boards weren’t working properly on it... then I updated it and it’s all fine :) why didn’t I think of this sooner!

    I had to put my Maths qualification to good use for the first time this afternoon, we were analysing a set of psychology results. I’m relieved to say I haven’t forgot it all yet haha ;)

    I have fitted warbrodes in my room that was here before lived here so i havent really found this out. 
    But i have been wondering where most of my papers go and they go all the way at the back and then below tbe bottom draws. So Today i took the last draw out to find a load of papers i have lost lol. I am so stupid. But wouldnt of thought it cause the draws close the same way. 

    Tempting to tell my sister but i now have a hiding place lol

    One of my goals have been to eat one fruit a day - i know that sounds bad considering we should have 5day lol but for awhile my diet has been consited of restricting and then binging on junk which is just really unhealthy. 

    But now i am managing to have atleast 2 a day. And today ive had 2 oranges and 2 apples and its really helping me to not binge so much (also trying to eat along side fruit)

    Had such a good night at the awards  ... totally different to what I thought it would be and had so much fun, was good to see some of our colleagues from hotels all across the UK too. Didn't  win 😂 but got short listed for an award and also nominated for hotel of the year! ✌

    Took a long time to do but my fav neckless I tangled 2 hours after I got it nearly 6 years ago, I can finally wear it. 

    I might be a carer but doing this has helped me get some time to untangle my life in terms of my neckless. 
    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    Such a lovely necklace @Abigail! It takes me so long to untangle them when this happens! Well done for fixing it :) 
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Managed to get my sister a birthday present for a reeeeeeeeally good price today, wanted to get a bottle of perfume for her so I went to superdrug and they were selling the one I was looking at for £20 for 100ml! Huge saving so guess what? I got one for her and one for myself! We've all gotta treat ourselves occasionally don't we?
