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 ❤

    Day 2 - this could be an album cover.

    *sad story alert* (and a bit of history 😂)
    That wee white thing is the figurehead of a vessel that made a navigation error and crashed Into the rocks, when the figurehead washed ashore it was erected overlooking where the vessel sank as a memorial.


    ' So I put a bullet where I shouda put a helmet, and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away, that's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself 'hey, I wanna get better''

    Anyone who knows me should know i have a massive fear of balloons. I did have a good picture of the dog bursting a balloon but for some reason it doesn't sit well on the site (also camera quality was terrible) So I've had to google as me buying a balloon would never happen. The mix colours (plus green) in a balloon. 


    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    Here are some actual balloons. They even have The Mix colours on!

    A must have item when it’s hot ...... a pair of smiley face Converse 😂

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Your pick- ive been helping my sister paint her room teal. I just think the colour is soo nice!! plus with gold stuff & mustard cushions. Is the colour i wanted my room but apperntly my rooms too small for it and she said it first so i couldnt, yet shes taken a lot longer to paint her room haha. Still need to fix the edges of the walls. I hate painting but i do love after & home stuff and decorating 



    “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

    Throwback Thursday - 11th July
    I'm sure we all have moments with sweets, where we throw lots of different types in a bowl and eat them 
    I've got a packet of chocolate and crispy m&ms in one bag

    Throwback Thursday, to this time last year when I was in hospital and asked my friend to bring in the essentials, meaning clothes/toiletries and she brought me this instead, wasn't complaining though 😂😂

    (After googleing what zen meant) 15th - zen
    My interpretation of it today would be something I find relaxing, for me currently playing minecraft or train sim seems to be working a art at the moment, so hey minecraft

    7th July- The time I am allowed my phone after  school to use the boards. And group chat.

    8th July- Ice Lollies!

    9th July- 999

    10th July- Favourite YouTube channel- Grace's Room.

    11th July- October 2018 to the cheerleading squad doing the baby shark abs conditioning. Oh and December 2018 to my head teacher dressing up as Santa and doing really funny jokes and a performance. Or even 24th March 2006- when I came home from the hospital for the 1st time. It is a short time but hospital is horrible for me.

    12th July- Usually the door of my dance teachers office. 😂

    13th July- Dartmoor! Or Lanzarote! Both places are highly recommended. Oh and Budapest. Recommended if you like turkey and cinnamon rolls.

    14th July- The tree I always cry under at lunchtime if I am not in the library, sen club or toilets.

    15th July- If you mean to do with something relaxing- Lanzarote.

    Day 16- Handwriting

    Day 17- 🙈
    Day 18- First discovered this quote in my form room/old Spanish room.

    If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

    19th July- 8pm on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because you can guess why. 6:30pm on Fridays because of gymnastics. 10pm on Saturdays as I get sooo tired.

    20th July- Something very precious that is a human right which everyone deserves. Clean water is deserved by all people everywhere in the world. 

    21st July- Sleep all morning and stay up until midnight on the boards and YouTube!
