    My mood isn't great lately and I managed to calm myself while my cousin didn't listening to me. Trying not to yell at her felt like swallowing a hard pill for me, but it worked.

    Kind people :) My friends in particular who always show me (and others) kindness, it always makes  the things that unkind people say seem insignificant :)

    My sister gave me her old telly.:)never had a telly in my room before. Need to buy the power cable but other than that it should hopefully work
    it looks small on camera but in real life it looks too big for my room cause room is small ah. So perfect size



    “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've been incredibly grateful of my family over Christmas and New Years, obviously this year has been a pretty different to usual but they've all been so lovely the whole time it's really brightened my spirits. :)

    I realised that i appreciate laughter and it's something that's a core part of me and my up bringing whether it be with my extended family or friends. When I look back at some of my funniest memories it's always been with other people. I haven't been laughing as much as I used and I guess it's because I've spent more time on my own because of my own silly insecurities and worries.

    Laughter is medicine, I just didn't realise just how important it was untill now.

    I can really relate to this. As soon as I hope on a call with my friend and we have fun playing video games, I realise how amazing that feeling is and how much I miss it.

    Today, I'm grateful of a bright sky and a (relatively) warm day. :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
