Not new, but back

Former MemberFormer Member Obnoxiously Large AnchorPosts: 1,201 Wise Owl
Hey guys! 

As the title I'm not new, I've been here since mid 2019. I've been on and off but as of recently I've decided I want to make more if a presence on here. 

So yes I wanted to introduce myself again! I go by Anchor because I heard a quote on The Fosters saying that they needed a place to call home, an anchor to keep them tied down. This fitted with what I wanted at the time - I moved about a lot, some by choice, some not, some a mix of both. I've lived with my parents, my mum alone, my grandparents (social work arranged), in an almost group home type setting, a setting similar to a foster home (but wasn't social work), in dorms and with my bf in two different houses and in some student accommodation too. 

An interesting fact about me? I've represented GB at international level for multiple sports including world championships junior and senior. 

Anyways I want to open my inbox for anyone who needs or wants a chat, or just needs a space to rant away from it all. 

Just remember you're all amazing ❤️

    Welcome back <3
    “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
