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 ❤

    I actually started yoga last week because I felt I needed to, until I developed the most horrendous cramp In my leg and decided it just wasn't for me 😂

    Watch a movie! Watched toy story and then I watched 3 after 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

    Watch a movie - a nurse is bringing in a film for me to watch tonight.. apparently it's about the strength and determination of a young woman and she thinks it could help me, it's called the colour purple, anyone seen it?

    I'm not the best at this self care, I did try some of the stuff in the bingo but it turns out me and water don't seem to go well at the moment (I keep burning myself with hot water)

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