    I've been following Mrs Hinch on Instagram for a while now and I really enjoy her stories! She's really funny and posts videos of cleaning! It makes me want to clean too haa! Does anyone else follow her? Here's a link to her Instagram if anyone wants to check her out :) 
    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 ❤

    Music. I don't think I would be half as productive at work without it!
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    Being on this training course. It's more intense than I imagine but very insightful and like to work my brain
    “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

    It probably sounds stupid - but I'm grateful that Ruby didn't show any signs of something being wrong while I was spending time with her tonight (because last night I was concerned. Still am paranoid).

    I'm also grateful that my hair's growing out. Having longer hair feels great to me lol, and I'm hoping I'll be a tiny bit more confident with my appearance once it's finally even and my stupid fringe is non-existent :)

    I'm grateful that tea exists,  (especially Yorkshire tea) and Capri sun,  always put a smile on my face when I'm sipping away on one of them! :)

    My cat trying to tell me to do some more physio. She loves me so much and doesn't want anything bad to happen to her human. At least something in this world cares about me and wants me alive and happy.

    I get a break from my mum again but not overnight. Just a few hours. I am going go karting with 2 of my friends, their parents, my friends aunts and my mum but my mum is going to be in a different car so I don't get stressed (no offence to my mum but it is just the fact that she moans at every song I put on if it isn't ABBA or Baby Shark.) I actually like music other than that like Pink, Melanie Martinez, Taylor Swift, Chubby Checker, Bill Haley, Little Mix, Sam Smith, the songs @Aife suggested, Rachel Platten, Sara Bareilles and even more. 

    At least my mum is only a phone call away if either of us feel lonely or just bored of the other persons music.

    I'm grateful today for seeing a teen  I use to work with.. eating disorder, drugs etc. She's completely turned her life around. I'm grateful for the services that support young people enough to encourage life changing.

    the shits and bad stomach pain.

    Vitalite! I would never be able to have sandwiches without it- spread free sandwiches are disgusting (in my opinion) but I cannot have normal butter as it gives me
