Hey Everyone,
Thanks for stopping by. I've been reading everyones blogs on here and it struck me that there is A LOT of negativity floating around. People, please there is really no need... You think maybe I don't know what I'm talking about... Let me tell you a story...
I was taken away from my birth mother as a small child (4 yrs old) and went to live with my dad and stepmother who was fine until her own kids came along. Several years of abuse later, i ended up in care for the last time after trying to kill myself.
Sadly my brilliant foster mother died after a protracted illness and despite helping so many there was nothing that could help her.
I've had the usual realtionship crap in between all that culminating with me moving my entire life away from my family to be with someone who basically tried to morph me into his ideal woman before leaving me for someone else... Devastated? You bet I was...
I'm in debt, I live in a house share and I have no partner but I'm happy.
You know why? I am myself. I answer only to myself. I'm not in an abusive relationship; I have a good job and I have loads of good friends.
This is basically to say that if you believe in yourself you can be happy no matter how bad your situation. I always remind myself that every bad situation or thing that happened to me was nothing compared to the bad times someone else was going through. Its true! Doesn't matter how bad things are for you... someone else is ALWAYS worse off.
If you ask for help from the universe you will get it. You just have to be open to it.
So that's my first blog - a little ambitous maybe. Its not meant to be patronising. In fact its more to remind myself of how lucky I am cause I've been a bit angry at the world today and I should actually be thankful.
I met a homeless man today on my way through a train station (I've been away for Easter) and all he asked me for was a cup of tea cause he hasn't had one for a day or so. I don't give money to homeless people but I'm always happy to buy them something if they need it and I have some money on me. So I asked him what he would like if he was buying for himself. He said a coffee with 3 sugars so I bought him a coffee and a ham and cheese baguette. It cost me £5 - it made his day and mine. Think on Cherries... ;o)
