What Do You See?

Hi peeps!!

Just wanted to share a random post with you all. I hope you don't mind but it popped into my head and I thought 'ooh I like that idea'. 
I have Kyphoscolisis, Perniosis, Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, slight hearing loss, anxiety, panic disorder. Asthma, arthralgia. Plus other oddly things. This is all because of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It takes over a lot of my life whether it's physically or mentally. 
However; it's a part of who I am but it is not the whole of me. I'm also a blogger, I create videos on my YouTube channel, I run my EDS Awarenesa Campaign through my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/DinkyktsEDSDiaries) I upload onto my Instagram accounts; my personal account and my beauty/fashion account where I show off my various looks despite struggling with pain, fatigue and physical difficulties and encouraging body positivity. 
I'm a daughter, sister, auntie, niece, cousin and a friend to many who I'm blessed to have in my life. I'm very blessed and privileged to have my family around me. 
I'm one of those people who you will see smiling in the street or even at the dentist when I'm numb from anaesthetic; but this is me. I try to be positive despite whatever is thrown at me; no matter how challenging or painful it may be. Don't get me wrong; I'm not perfect and I'm not always socially comfortable but I do my best. 


 I'm on the path to making my dreams and goals come true; I may not go as fast as everyone else in this crazy hasty life but that doesn't matter when I'm toobusy savouring each moment (maybe not so much when I'm lying in pain or feeling like a zombie for the day). I never try to be someone or something I'm not; my energy levels are sacred to me! As hard as it is to compare yourself to others; and I've done this a many times, remember that you are you and there is no one else like you in this world. You are here for a reason whatever that reason is. We all lose things we love; whether that's a person, relationship, pet, home, or even a hobby but the important thing is to keep searching for new things. When we learn to accept things that we can't change, and start to embrace them in our own strange ways. Cry and then find inspiration to search for the next thing. Obviously every thing is different and it's much much harder when it's a person but try to remember that that person would feel so much happier knowing you can find happiness again in time and treasure the memories in your heart. 
Okay... I'll get back to what I was saying. I am all the things I said above and much much more. Always have love and acceptance in your heart. Never judge someone by what you see or by their disability. You are you and I am me. That northern little lass, with the long dark hair, hazel eyes and the everlasting smile. 

Thank you for reading this random post and I hope to see you next time. Keep smiling no matter what is thrown at you in life as your smile may brighten up someone's day. 😘❤️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
