15 Things I am grateful for:

05/09/2017

Today I woke up and I felt good, really happy, in fact.
This kind of fulfilling happiness is so rare these days that it took me completely by surprise.
This is not to say that I am unhappy everyday.
But just that usually, even when I’m having “fun” , I am usually still  slightly anxious , sad , or distracted.
I am hardly ever enveloped in an unconditional happiness and having an appreciation for life.
So today’s post (for once ) , is a happy one.

On the way to the Harry Potter studio’s I took the time to reflect on all the things I am thankful and happy about.
Then , maybe on bad days , you guys, just like me can remember just how good we already have thingsJ

So , 15 things I am thankful for .....
 
1.     My Health
2.    My loving parents and the rest of my family
3.    Having money ,financial security and a home
4.    Having a group of (mostly great ) friends
5.    Having had an Education
6.    Feeling safe and secure
7.    Being able to drink clean water and not worry about having enough to eat.
8.    Being able to read all the books I want.
9.    Art ( all of the different types)
10.   Being able to watch film and TV programs.
11.    Freedom of Speech
12.   Electricity and plumbing  
13.   Music
14.   Being able to hear , see , communicate , touch and think.
15.   Being able to type this in a car on the way to the Harry Potter studio tour with my mum sat next to me.

I love the way you laugh out loud The way you make me smile The way you're not afraid to hold my hand, if only for a while I love the way you look at me And the way you always care The way you look me in the eyes And sometimes even stare I love the way you give me hugs That sometimes last forever But think you should believe in yourself more, because you are actually really clever. I love the way you understand me completely, And even though it sounds really cheesy, the way you complete me.

How are you?

How are you? Three simple words. Infinite answers. What answer do you wish to hear today? Do you   want to hear about my pain, the heaviness, thoughts and fears that I keep? Do you   wish to know about my web of secrets and lies that are tearing me apart inside? What about the self-harm or the suicidal thoughts? Do you want to know how alone I feel and how many nights I have cried myself to sleep this week? And do you want to know for   you , to help   me , or to simply have something to   talk about at  your next meal? Think carefully. Don’t want to know? No,   I didn't think so. So I guess I'm   fine   thank you, how are you?

Mindset

I keep preaching to work hard and follow your dreams, yet my mindset has been the complete opposite lately.   I’m sitting around in idleness, achieving absolutely nothing,   thinking to myself, what’s happening to me?

I’ve gotten used to this feeling, I’ve become comfortable, I’ve lost count of the days, It’s all become one long stream of consciousness   where everyday feels the same. No routine, no stability - lately, there hasn’t even been a plan A. Just sleeping, doing nothing and wasting the time away. I’ve become the person I hate.   Feeling all sense of hopelessness,   constantly making the same mistakes again, and again, and again. My mind has gone blank, I've lost ambition,   and it just becomes harder and ha...
