I have mentioned many times in my previous posts that at some point in my teens I began to feel the need to be accepted, and at the time not really being sure of what it was that I wanted to be accepted as or for. I also never had a really positive opinion ofContinue reading “Does it REALLY matter?”

Every story has 2 sides, but not everything that happens in this world necessarily has an explanation. When it comes to my story and of where I am today, I can tell you my side of the story but for whatever reason was never given a specific reason as to why I was no longerContinue reading “I’m not sure why….”

I am sure that those of you who have read any of my previous posts will know that I have always struggled with how I view myself and have lacked a real sense of positivity about myself for the majority of my life, starting around my mid teens. My son has recently turned 15 andContinue reading “Notes to self”

I wrote a few days ago about how it is nothing shameful to be human, to show human frailty and make mistakes. I was – and still am – committed to unburdening myself from any feelings of shame over the mistakes I have made and situations I have placed myself in the past because ofContinue reading “Shame on me”

I read a quote recently, which was anonymous. It said: “You have no reason to compare yourself to anyone.” This is such a true statement, but it is a mantra that I have always struggled with in my life. I’ve never been able to understand why I have done this in the past, and whichContinue reading “By whose standards are you judging yourself?”

I believe that all things happen for a reason, and that there are many things to be grateful for and that are worth remembering or commemorating. I am not talking about anything materialistic. These are meaningful personal, human remembrances. Events and people that took place in my life and for various reasons bring levels ofContinue reading “April Remembrances”

It is often a difficult thing to place ourselves on one side of the Nature v Nurture theory. According to Dr Google: “Nature is what people think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nuture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception, eg. the productContinue reading “Life reboot”
