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.

Results Day

Today is results day... Today is the day where I discover my long-awaited fate. Am I going to fail and regret every decision I’ve ever made? or am I going to pass , in which case I’m destined to be okay, or at least that’s what people say.   That’s on the condition that I go on to do well at the next stage Yet why must my life be a continuous series of tests and games? I’ve been absolutely dreading this day,   I can feel my heart beating out of my chest just pleading for this moment to go away.   Knowing that people are going to ask me what I’ve got is something I cannot face.   The pressure to do well hangs over me like a dead weight. What will people say? What if I’m the only one who fails and everyone else does great? It seems that we’re put under so much pressure at a young age   Expected to know what we want to do with our lives, make the right choices, get the best grades.   And expected to somehow, come out of it all okay.

Endings:

I made the decision to leave my university course – and not being able to change courses so late in the year then meant leaving the university and my flat until next year. And this was all damn hard .My life has been full of turbulent change since September, and just when I felt settled again I had to rip it all out from under me . I've been left with debts to pay, had to find a new job, and adjust to being back home.  But , things could still be worse . I’ve got my health, a supportive family and even more supportive friends. And I don’t regret one second at university – even with all the flat drama and the course- as there’s still so much I’ve learnt these past couple of months. And sometimes in life you’ve got to weigh up what is most important to you. It was nearly a year ago now that I choose to do this course . It all happened because I was told that I needed to do a degree with an “actual job” at the end of it, not a useless one.I choose a degree that...
