    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 ❤

    “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

    Well this maybe an observation of today more than factual. But ive actually just done some looking at their website and seems factual. If youre not intested in Womans Newlook clothes lol then dont bother 😂😂

    Anywayyyy this is so random but NewLooks kids section is bigger than adults smallest size. I was gettingblack skinny trousers but someone put age 13 in the adults section & looked bigger than the size 4 i was looking at. & i mean i got them cause they was £4 lol but fit sooo much better than adults & theyre the right length & im not exactly short. Anyway  A kids waist is like 69cm for a 14- 15 year olds & an adults size size 4 is 54cm ...ect & a  then at size 10 is 70 cm waist like whattt thats nearly a 14-15 year old. their age 13 feels bigger & less suffocating for my stomach than adults size 8. So today i looked at the kids section (some are obviously kids style look) but rest is jut as cool & fashionable as the adults secton;) also cheaper ah

    "When an infant koala – called a joey – is born, it immediately climbs up to its mother’s pouch. Blind and earless, a joey uses its strong sense of touch and smell, as well as natural instinct, to find its way."
