How have the last five months changed your life? 🌸

For better, or for worse? I have lost people that I previously considered to be some of my closest friends. Having spent lockdown living with my dad, my relationship with my mum has suffered. In early July, I learned that I was having a baby. It ha...

Completely Different

I've changed a lot over the years. Maybe I've got more mature, who knows? When I was 18, I was such a fun, bubbly and confident person. I'd have loads of friends and would be out every weekend with them. I had a group of friends at col...

I'm Different Now

I am much mature and secure with myself. I speak my mind and don't allow someone to run me like I have no mind of my own. I call the shots now. I don't care what people think of me because I love myself still faults and all. I don't ne...

And thank goodness for that

I was such a prisoner of my own perception. So full of pain and looking for distraction. Always hunting for the next thing, never in the moment or feeling grateful for what was in front of me. I was a need, hungry and addicted to something I could ne...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I used to wear my heart upon my sleeve, blinded to the reality that surrounded me, then it came crashing down in a blaze of clarity, now stands a shell of my former self hardened and far to mature for my age, and I wonder what would my younger self s...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I used to be angry about the fact that I was ever born, because sometimes it felt like I could never do anything right. For those who are going through this, remember that very few people do well without practice. Life is about experiencing things..s...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I came from such a dark, lonely place. I had spent so much of my life there, I couldn't see past there and really thought that my entire life would be spent there. I wanted out so badly, I lost interest in just about everything.

Where did she go? Down a dark road and took a turn at the fork. Argh

Strength and endurance, or maybe it was those golden cuffs.

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I used to be this ball of sunshine parading her gleaming light to everyone, being hopeful and positive as always... But when life happened, I shrunk into oblivion, turning everything into nothing... Bending hopes into doubts... Changing success into...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I try to give up all the thoughts that make me feel bad, or even just some of them, doing that changed my life. I don't need negative thoughts. All they have ever given me was a false self that suffers. They are all lies. I remembered who I am a...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

Why is it that being happy by yourself, never feels as good as when you are happy with someone else? When you're alone, it takes a lot of effort just to not feel like crap! And on the rare occasions when you DO get to experience breif moments o...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

The hardest part of the last few years was fighting so hard to get back my identity as a reliable lady, a hard worker that almost never calls in or quits or avoids her family and friends. Things have changed so much and I can't control that, my ...

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

My emotional well-being keeps deteriorating. My brain is sharp as ever but my soul feels scalded and bloodied. I cant seem to wake up to do basic things. To want anything I loved. To want anything.

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

I can't stand the sight of my own face anymore. No soul left behind my eyes. My smile is long broken and any reason to gone. Im ugly .

I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

All of that anger I carried and brewed for so long seems to be leaving me more and more rapidly these days.
