    It’s my 21st next week and work got me a present and some flowers. It was so kind of them and it feels so nice to work somewhere where everyone is so nice 🥰🥺
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    My pals. I love that I can trust for them to always have my back and they know that I’ve got their backs too. We’re always stronger together 😇😊

    Also really grateful for my wee dogs, they make me smile everyday without fail 😁

    Being able to breathe properly. I don’t want to jinx it though
    “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

    Ash in support circle. Fantastic mod, supportive, listens, can have a laugh . Just allowing me to rant and get things of my chest is so helpful at the moment. Absolutely credit to the mod team.

    My earphones to help drown out the noise of my very noisy classmates during Photography (we had a supply teacher and he didn't even care because he was too busy marking some work for another subject.)

    For everyone who has checked on my family, friends and me since Thursday night. Im so appreciative.
    I'm still in shock about what's happened and plan to go home soon and be with my family and friends while they recover from this very very dark time

    My friends. I’ve had a rubbish day and I was about to go to bed when a woman I used to know phoned me to ask me something. We ended up chatting on the phone for half an hour. Made the day a bit better at least.

    I just had a really fun time enjoying all the spooky stuff for Halloween! I saw decorations everywhere, people in costumes and got to have fun in my own way at home too. :D Just a shame that it's over already!

    Video calls! My sister gave my niece her phone and I saw her watching the fireworks for the first time <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 ❤
