    Hey Lauren! Hope youre okay
    “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

    Welcome @Thoughtsy to our boards :)

    Tonight I would have liked to have chatted to you, but for feeling very fatigued, had to log out and rest.

    There is tremendous support on the boards, so reach out for help and we will do all we can to be here for you, giving support and encouraging you. I have a 12 year old ward called Sophie so I understand younger ones very well, but I am very glad you joined.

    Best wishes,
    Mandyx

    Welcome Lauren! 
    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 ❤
