    Debating on whether i should cut my own full fringe or not. I have done it before but i did it wrong lol. It was too thick. Want it more thin. Maybe ive learnt i don’t know ha. But im so bored of my hair. Some people look soo nice with a full fringe but dont think ill ever be able to pull it off with my face lol & so much maintaince. I may watch youtube videos on how to do it tomorrow & then decide.

    Mike and Katya are finally out on Strictly! In my opinion they were 💩 because they were terrible dancers  (just knowing that they were in 4 dance offs in a row is enough proof.)

    I've had a really good few days and I found a really useful book for one of my most challenging modules. I'm looking forward to moving onto the last part of my research project.

    Ant and dec are related. That was an obvious end but still too cute to watch. & too cute about when they talk about how much they mean to each other. I wish i was related to them

    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 ❤

    Think life is going to be feeling a bit calmer soon. Had lots of time with friends recently and needed to do a lot of life admin, and think I've caught up enough to have some chill time. :3

    Things haven’t been great these last few days I’ve had some really dark and horrible times but today I went a brought one of those werid foot peeling mask things and currently have it on whilst snuggled up on the sofa with Louie so that’s a big achievement as anyone who knows me knows I HATE doing self care 😅

    I had my first white hot chocolate and it was really tasty, ironically my boyfriend chose a regular hot chocolate.

    I also received some very good news!

    Two days until I'm 15 and I haven't lost to suicide unlike I felt I would. So that's good I guess (probably bad for everyone else though).

    Things are slowly moving in the right direction ! My autism assessment referral was accepted and I’ve been diagnosed with depression instead of it being labelled as just “low mood “ here’s to getting the right support

    I don't think I will become a politician or anything because it's not my area, but I probably will get involved in campaigning and stuff.

    So guess who's thinking of joining Young Labour? I want to advocate and make a difference and it could be a good way to meet like-minded people. I only just found out there's such a thing today so I'm not sure about it, but it seems like something that could help motivate me and give me a sense of purpose.
