    Day 4: A decision you made recently that you feel defines your independence

    Deciding to stay with my boyfriend instead of leaving when his ex was harassing me. I just put my foot down and said no.

    Thinking about moving to another city that's more accessible to wheelchair users so I can get around easier and without other peoples help.

    Moving 200 miles for a fresh start and the next chapter in my life. Scary but hopefully worth it.

    #CatchingUp

    Was away on DofE expedition, so hopefully not to late to catch up? :heart:

    Day 3: Something I paid for, my DofE kit, and food in preparation for it, dad wasn't on the okay side of me and my sister going away, so I had to buy most things for myself, and pack for the five days I was going to be away, and ensure it was light weight and easy to carry around on mountains and stuff.

    Day 4: I'm currently sorting out University stuff, which is a massive change, and I'm travelling slowly towards it, even though I haven't moved into Uni, I'm preparing myself for the change, my sorting things out, and preparing my visits, etc.

    And finally, Day 5: Similar to Day 4, I'm making changes to move into University, in hope it will give my independence, and allow me to learn new skills. I think independence is more about getting out of your current comfort zone, embracing what is around you. I have also sorted out my CV, so I'm going to hopefully hand it into places near my Uni, so I was gain extra money!
