    “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

    My friends. Living with them has made this whole lockdown easier. We miss our families but we still get drunk on a Friday night!

    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Spell check on my phone. Saves me from embarrassing and silly spelling and grammar mistakes. Or at least most of the time.

    I am grateful  that my hair did not turn out to be a disaster. I made the possibly disastrous decision to cut my own fringe yesterday after watching a tutorial and thinking that I was a hairdresser. Luckily it actually turned out alright  :joy:

    It sounds weird but im really grateful of the online places that im banned from. Just mainly beat. It was a toxic place for me personally. And i dont want to spend too much of my day on my phone. The mixs group chat is enough for me and this forum and feel more grateful to be apart of here rather than some other shitty support service

    hindsight is actually a wonderful thing

    I know this sounds really soppy but I really do love my SO and I'm so grateful for him. He's absolutely wonderful. He's smart, he's empathetic and he's mature. I've seen he use his own knowledge to educate his family members where need be. This week I saw him put his racist "step sister" in her place after spewing rubbish before cutting her off completely. This alone says a lot about him. I have definitely found my person.
