A Work in Progress...

Hello peeps! 

Wow it's been around 2 months since I last blogged... I've had my usual things going on like my weekly outings with my support worker and medical appointments. I'm still on a self discovery journey to find as much inner peace and taking control of my life. 
I've also been trying to keep my Facebook page up to date, refreshing my YouTube channel and spending time on my instagram. I haven't really been on my twitter much as I have just not felt up to it. I guess you go through stages in your life where you just want to be away from drama or real life and focus on other aspects whatever that/they may be. 
Being on instagram and YouTube has helped my creativity as well as my crafting. It's giving me the confidence to publish photos and videos of myself, maybe even thinking more positive about myself. I'm sure we have all bashed ourselves down at different times in our lives for whatever reasons but I would like to believe that just maybe we can start to being our friend and not constantly knock oneself down. I'd like to say that we are all 'a work in progress, always learning, evolving and facing each day as a new day.' I'm not preaching that it is easy because it isn't and there are always challenges ahead of us. I know I have kinda gone off to the deep end and hope you don't mind. 
An idea I've learnt is maybe writing a list of things you do like about yourself whether it's your eyes, you have the ability to make those around you laugh or even being a maths geek, for example, for me I would write; 
My smile
My creativity
Being a loyal friend... And so on. 

Now write a list of things you are not so keen and this list is what you can work on, again a few examples from me; 
My sensitivity
My legs
Being messy and disorganised... And so in. 

Hopefully in time, the good list will be longer and the negative list will be shorter. There will always be things we dislike about ourselves and things that we cannot do but that's ok. We wouldn't be human if we weren't flawed in one way or another. 

Anyway... I really do think I've gone way too deep in this post but I wanted to share this above with you and so you know you are not alone during times of struggle, self-discovery or whatever is going on in your life. By no means am I a know-it-all but showing you soe helpful insight. 
In future blog posts, maybe I can talk to you more about this...? I will also tell you all about my trip to Manchester and MEETING THE BACKSTREET BOYS!!

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Dating and Disability

Hi peeps!! How are you doing? I hope you're all keeping well and that life is treating you with love and kindness.  As I've been watching ITV2's Love Island and have continually be surrounded by couples whether it's friends, family or even celebrities, it's really made me think about dating.  Everyone makes it seem so easy and I know it's not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm thirty-two and it's been way too long (much longer than I dare to admit here!) since I dated anyone. I feel it's definitely gotten harder for me. In the last four or five years, my health has deteriorated which means I no longer go out on nights out, I don't go to any clubs and there's rarely a chance for me to meet anyone. Although when I used to go out night-clubbing; meeting someone who was heavily intoxicated, really didn't do any favours and it wasn't my preferred way of meeting someone. A few friends have suggested trying out dating apps/site
