“What they hate in you is missing in them.”

I am not too much.
I am not difficult.
I am not wrong for seeing things differently.

I don’t believe what they believe.
I don’t fake okay.
And I don’t owe anyone a version of myself that hurts less.

I am me.
And that is enough.

Valentines Day

I’ve never liked Valentine’s Day, it’s my Dads birthday, growing up so much of everything was about him, his beliefs, his feelings, his moods, his anger, his whims. He never really got gifts for my Mum, for occasions like that, anniversaries, Christmas, birthdays even went uncelebrated by him. It’s why as soon as I was old enough and had money I always got my Mum something on Valentine’s Day, especially after he left.

It’s so hard to shift deeply engrained thoughts and values that were embedded in you from birth, it’s something I’m always doing, questioning my I feel a certain way or why I have a certain view, always working to find what I actually think and feel rather than the hateful, religious, black and white version of things I was told as a child.

Today I’m thinking, why have I always hated this day? It’s a day of love, yes it’s commercial and a lot of it is about making money, but so what? It can be lovely, it can be whatever you want it to be. It can be nothing, it can be everything.

This year I smiled at an old man who spent a good half hour choosing cards for his wife and daughter. My heart swelled helping the man choose presents for his girlfriend, telling me she really deserved treating this year after a tough few months, I felt pride watching my daughter making gifts for her teacher and friends becuase ‘it’s a love day and she loves them all’, I was surprised by a card and tulips from my best friend and forever Valentine.

How lucky I am to be loved this Valentines Day, how wonderful to be able to realise its love I deserve, just for being me, not because of what I’ve done or who I believe in, in spite of who abandoned me all those years ago, that’s nothing to do with me, I deserve love today and every other day.

So do you.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

The older I get the more I feel like this encapsulates me in every way.

Mad woman.

There’s nothing like a Mad Woman, what a shame she went mad.

I’ve been working through a lot of past trauma recently, it’s bringing a lot up for me which isn’t always easy.

I was raised extremely religiously by possibly the most selfish and contradictory man to ever exist (I will probably post about this separately).

Being told from an early age that all my thoughts and feeling were being monitored by some illusive higher power, that I was born ‘sinful’, that everything is black and white/right and wrong, that if I didn’t do exactly as I was meant to I would end up in eternal hell fire. It had a profound impact on my brain chemistry and on who I am today.

It’s something I am exploring and may speak more about on here.

Completely understand if it’s not for everyone but I’ve always shared my feelings on here and it’s a good outlet for me.

Adapt and overcome 💪🏼💙

Some days I feel alone, I lost so much when I lost my Mum, one of the things was my connection to my past. A family tie to hold onto and the ‘proper grown up’ that I could rely on.

I am a Mum, I own a home, I have a business, so many people rely on me now. But I could let them all down.

Some moments I stand in pure panic because I don’t feel like enough to do all these things, I still feel like a kid, who wants her mum, but she’s not there.

I wonder if my Mum ever felt like that.

I try to remember my achievements are my own, I did them despite everything. But some days that’s harder than others.

You’re on your own kid, you can face this.
