As a human; I'm not perfect and those that claim to be simply lie. Alike everyone, in life, there are things that make me irrevocably happy and positively sad. For the most part, the feelings from my heart, and thoughts from my mind will be presented here; the ups, downs and the in betweens. I don't aim to rant or moan but simply to share my experiences and help others as I journey along into fully fledged adulthood.

Life Reflection
Most of my reflective moments come when I'm in the shower when I really have time to think and one quote kept playing on my mind-
And it got me thinking about my life and what I've been through these past 5 or so years. It makes me think that this quote is not necessarily wrong but very unjust. I don't exactly know where I'm going with this blog but it made me quite cross when I reflected on my experiences.
I consider myself an extremely positive person (most days) who will always aim to put others happiness before my own so when I think about how unfair life has been on my family, it makes me question why life is so unfair...
In the past 5 years (since I was 19), I've experienced:
- 3 deaths of close family members
- I've witnessed 2 people almost die in front of me (one being my dad) and contributed to saving one of their lives
- Studying for a degree away from home during 2 deaths
- My parents almost decided to separate
- Becoming a carer and all the things that come with caring for someone's basic needs
- The beginnings of depression and an eating disorder
And yet, here I am with great achievements and happiness/positivity to spread to those around me. But when I compare my last 5 years to those around me, sometimes I selfishly question 'why me? Why my family?' It's a terrible thought to have especially as I know if I compared my 5 years with someone else I don't know, mine would be only a scratch on the surface of theirs.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you keep your head up, your heart happy and a smile on your face, you can get through anything.
I truly believe that because it's how I've survived these past 5 years....
I don't know what this blog is but sometimee I miss sharing these thoughts with you. You are like my diary. It makes me feel better purging these thoughts and emotions so thank you xxx
