    “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

    I know this is going to sound so geeky but The Wanted released their first album in 7 years and I'm so happy to be able to listen to them again :)

    People being supportive and kind on social media. I often have very mixed feelings about social media, and it’s refreshing to see people use it positively.

    Literally stuff as small as putting on music and having a bit of a sing-song can put a smile on my face. That or when you come across a funny or cute video online

    I got colleague of the quarter at work. Cause people actually voted for me. I am so happy. And Which means I’ve got a £25 gift card to spend in store. How cute. I’ve never felt this appreciated before. I don’t know anyone who would of voted for me. But they did and that makes me so happy.
    I was feeling so tired and so depressed but then I received that and now I’m suddenly not tired lol

    ( yesterday but still makes me smile)

    I went to lush and was very overwhelmed, i dont like it in their but wanted to get a gift set for mum. A worker came over to help me,i stuttered and handflapped the whole time. I was really overstimulated and unhappy. While i was in the queue the worker handed me something. It was a bar of soap, a kindness gift they called it.
    It made me smile which i really needed before my shift. I said thankyou but i wish i couldve said it less flustered. That kind worker has no idea what difference he made to my day.
    You're awesome!

    Some younger students decided to do a little prank today at school. They put some sort of gel thing on the door handles in the art block which the head of art then had to go and clear up. I know that's not really funny but it's funny how the younger students came up with such a weird prank.

    I had a little dance party in class this morning. Me and some classmates were in the Photography studio and we had some music on and we all started dancing along. We were also doing our work.

    Yesterday me and my friend were on our way to the bus stop on our way home from school and we found an empty shopping trolley. So then we decided to play around in it and push eachother along. My friend then crashed into a lamppost when it was my turn to climb into the trolley. No trollies (or people) were harmed in the entertainment experienced.

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