Embracing Doubt and Being Tested

Hey peeps!!

How are you all this week? I'm doing alright ☺ seeing as I missed a week or two not so long back, I think it's only fair that I do two posts this week so this will be my first one. I hope that is okay with you lot? As much as I love to write, especially about topics that I feel most inspired by and feel strongly about, it's you that keeps me writing. 

This post is a motivational just like in my previous one which I hope you liked btw. 

 
While I may not be able to go to work like most other people my age because of various health issues making me 'successful', I feel like I am a success in my own way. Why do I think this you may ask? Every day I continue to strive forward with my goals. Okay, not every day or even every week that I can write a new blog post, or film a new video but in between, I work on new ideas and preparations for when I can post. Most days I will upload a post on my Facebook page talking about the EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). The success is when I have uploaded a new post, when I receive feedback that someone has enjoyed what I've shared with them, whether it's on here or on my YouTube channel. 

For me it's the self doubt and feeling tested by my own criticism is where I get most doubt and tested. They say we are our own worst enemies and I think this is so true. I see other bloggers/youtubers' work, they always look amazing and this knocks my confidence/self believe but I remind myself that is what I love to do. I enjoy it too. Everybody's work is different and is great in their own, unique way. 😊 however, it is good to have some critism (constructive) as it helps you to keep focused and aim for bettering what you do. We all strive to better ourselves in some way or other. So if someone says or does something in relation to whatever it is that you, then try to not take it personally. Take their critism in a positive manner and use it to your advantage. Keep doing what you're doing. Enjoy your success! 
I call my blog/YouTube channel/my Facebook EDS awareness page 'my work' because I spend so much of my time just thinking, planning, creating and publishing what I do. It does take it out of me but I enjoy it and work on it all on my 'good' days. It gives me focus and a purpose. In this big, crazy world; it is also my place where I have a voice and I hope that I can be a voice for you lot too. 
Anyway, that's enough from me for today and I shall see you all next time. Keep being you and smile no matter what is thrown at you in life!! With love ❤ xxx

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
