    I love this, I might have to rearrange some of the days as I did a massive wardrobe clear out today so doubt I'll have much left for day 12 =)

    Day 6 I had a long shower in the morning! I'll do day 7, later this evening

    Day 7 - journalling. I wrote 4 pages of how I felt and why I was upset and who I was angry at. Felt good to get it out. However it wasn't the question I asked, it's still journaling

    Teddy makes me smile
    “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

    Today has been really difficult, so as it stands I dyed my hair red, tonight I will facemask, light a lavander candle, wear cosy clothes and get an early night

    22- I spent the day in bed as I haven't felt 100%, played Animal crossing and just relaxed. That's all you need sometimes.  <3
