    My friend has a dog that looks like a gigantic fluffy teddy bear.

    I saw this on Facebook a while ago and was telling someone about it but couldn't find the video anymore. But I finally found the video again on YouTube! So cute <3

    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 ❤

    Received lots of really lovely and caring PMs from people on Instagram, many who I haven't really spoken to before. It's really made me feel like I'm not alone and I really appreciate the support.
    Gonna spend my night replying to each one individually and offer them a listening ear if they need It. It's always positive to give support and not just take it

    “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

    One of my cats detected I was anxious earlier so she jumped onto my lap, curled up and had cuddles. She jumped off when I was calm. I think she could be a therapy cat. If they exist.

    at the parade it started snowing and my nephews words were 'its so magical, thank-you for being alive' I cried 😂 he's only 7, but he knows if I carried on with that self destructive cycle I wouldn't be alive. I am SO happy to be alive.

    Yesterday I was feeling a bit upset during English so I left the room to calm down. A year 7 who is in one of my lessons (normally only the particular year groups have lessons together but in the SEN unit it is a mixture of year 7, 8 and 9 was walking past with her teacher. The teacher asked what happened and then the year 7 got interested. The year 7 asked if I wanted a hug. I wasn't feeling comfortable with being touched so I said no thank you. The offer was still cute.

    Today during break at the performing arts thing I go to, a 6 year old decided to sit on my lap after I had finished eating. She then gave me all the hugs in the world.

    I love my "neice". I've been thinking about her a lot. She makes me laugh so much because she's so funny. I really look forward to celebrating her 2nd birthday with my SO and his family.

    Heard such a touching story from one of my teachers.

    A few days ago my art teacher put a funny and nice comment on my art homework on Teams. :)

    My food technology teacher sent a quote to us. It said "Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can."

    One of my cats could tell I was feeling a bit down and anxious earlier so she curled up with me right against my stomach and just kept on purring and even fell asleep against me.

    I was in the garden crouched down taking a photo up a tree for some Photography homework. One of my cats tried to jump on to me but failed. The cat is absolutely fine.

    Our cat Sophie, who is usually very independent and stand-offish, went walking around our living room today just meowing loudly trying to get some attention so someone would stroke her! Such a sweetheart. :blush:
