    “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

    Trying to drink a drink through a McDonald's straw before it disintegrates is the most stressful thing

    I want one of them so bad but the metal touching my teeth is a sensory thing I don't like.

    Sometimes I use those hard plastic straws that you get in the mason jar type cups, don't know if that's any different though x

    I swear I used to speak work friend. I've spoke to her few ages cause I mean I have been working there for 3 years. But I've never told her about my mental health until I told her about my peer support training I was doing at the time and how it means I have mental health to support others. Her reaction was "you don't have mental health illness" was like lol yeah I do. And that's about the last proper conversation I had with her. She's seems to blank me and when I try to make convo with her she was very blunt. I guess she has her own views about mental health. I guess I did tell her I have BPD diagnosis
