That letter symbolised my past and as I saw it floating down the Brayford with the gentle but sure movement of the water I realised it was like a metaphor for my life, gently but slowly flowing forwards. I don't have to forget everything that I was: it's just a commitment that's all it is.
To embrace life and see where it takes me.
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
"Our desire to excel helps us to exceed our expectations"
You can't change the past all you can do is learn from it. Iremember last year when I had to leave Uni I really hated myself for it but now coming back I realised that if I had miraculously got through into the second year I would not have been prepared and would have had to repeat that anyway. I have learnt so much more from "failing" than I would have done from passing. It's made me a stronger, more hopeful person so that I'm able now to cope with uni and not just cope but to let myself experience everything it has to offer. It's a slow process but I'm getting there and it just goes to show that a "failure" is never a failure until you let it be.

Just dropping by to send you some love, snuggles and positive thoughts! x
Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain.
Thanks Katie! *sends them back two-fold for you*
Emma I'm so glad it's giving you hope hon, good for you!
Yep I definitely plan to keep it up-it's really helping me and I'm so happy that it's helping other people too.
*sprinkles you with positivity glitter*

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Henry James

Don't avoid problems-instead build up to facing them gradually so you can build up your strength.
So it took a while but I'm finally facing up to my problem. I'm still not sure whether my depression is real or not but I'm not using that as an excuse to not take care of myself. Depression or no depression everyone should focus on their mental health. That's not being selfish, that's just taking care of myself enough so that I truly have enough space to help others :)

I am thankful that I get to complete my education in this wonderful setting with all this knowledge and resources at my fingertips.
I am glad that every day my dream job gets closer and closer!
I am thankful that I am much better equipped to fight this depression the second time around than the first and that gives me a fighting chance!
I am happy that I have learned a lot during my life so far
This list of everything I'm grateful for will gradually be added to in the future hopefully. Research shows it does a lot to improve mood!
I'm grateful for being in exactly the right place to eventually make a difference to those people's lives.
I'm grateful to have a home and a family that loves me and a secure base from which to experience my life.
I'm grateful that in my life and future job I will have a chance to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and help them unlock their true potential.
I'm grateful to all the people who have helped in my life including all of my wonderful friends and those who have have given me advice. I know even my auntie is only trying to help!

Okay so things haven't been great recently mood-wise and work wise and I could have given in but I didn't. I will not let this depression defeat me and I know that there is a life out there for me. I'm going to stick around and face my problems until they dissolve because shutting myself off from the world is going to create more problems than it's worth. It might save me some pain in the short-term but it will mean I'll miss out on some good stuff too.

If you won't give up on other people what makes you think it's okay to give up on yourself. With enough work you can achieve anything it's just that sometimes you have to think outside of the box.

A dream is something that fills up the emptiness inside. The one thing that you know if it came true, all the hurt would go away. Go inside, find it and ask it what it's going to take. Dreams ren't supposed to be easy but it doesn't mean you can't achieve them.
If you can imagine your dream then it can come true and I can do more than just imagine mine!

This is my favourite quote of the moment!
