    Just had dinner😋 was lovely, no greens though as I don't like them haha! But I throughly enjoyed what I had. Dinner in spoiler as I know food maybe a trigger for some.

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

    Not been feeling too good mentally today. :( I

    know that I am supposed to be happy on Christmas Day but something keeps popping up in my mind. I look happy on the outside but on the inside I am feeling really anxious and traumatised. It is all because of the bullying that went on at school before the holidays. Sorry if everyone is tired of hearing this burden talk about it. :(

    Have a lovely time shopping @Past User! I hope you manage to get some good discounts. Your Pandora rings are so nice! I might have to have a look at their website today and do some shopping :). 

    We're always here to listen to anything you're going through @Kasa2103. I hope you're feeling a little better today. <3

    I had a lie in this morning which was nice. I was so tired yesterday! I managed to hide an egg-free cupcake from my family and they haven't found it yet so I'm going to eat that later on today haa! 

    How are everyone's days going today?

    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 ❤

    Ahhhh @Aife HIIIII 

    I’ve been getting last minute things for tomorrow 😬 I’m getting bit exicted now

    @Kasa2103 that's a really nice gift and perfect for when it's cold like today! 

    @Millie2787 that sounds like a really nice day and a nap will definitely be needed! Did your Boohoo order arrive in the end? Try not to feel too much pressure tomorrow, remember it's your day and you're allowed to do whatever you'd like to do :).
