Day Twenty Six

I thought it was probably about time I wrapped this challenge up! 

what do you think about your friends

I'm not really sure I understand what I'm supposed to write for this topic.  I think my friends are wonderful and awesome and amazing or else I wouldn't be friends with them! I am not really a person who has ever had a lot of friends. At school I didn't have a particular group that I belonged to, I floated amongst the groups always at the edges. I never really fit into anyone category, I wasn't quite nerdy enough to hang with the nerdy kids, I wasn't sporty, I was in the band but I wasn't a band geek, I wasn't one of the popular kids but I was friends with some of them, I liked Rap & Hip Hop but I was too white. I guess I have always been little bits of everything, but with no real passion or focus. It's probably why I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.


Things haven't really changed as I've gotten older. I still don't really belong to a particular group of friends and I don't maintain any friendships with people I went to school with except on Facebook and the occasional letter, email or phone call. I think that sometimes I can be a bit too intense and that scares people. 


So what do I think about my friends? I have a number of different friends at the moment who I love and adore. Some are IRL friends, some are people I have met on twitter who have become IRL friends, and some are people I have never met in person but talk to everyday through twitter and facebook. Each of them is special in their own way, and each of them brings something different to my life. I think of all of them with great fondness and affection. They all inspire me, encourage me and love me for who I am, warts and all. I have never felt as content as I do at this point of my life. 


To each of my friends I say thank you, thank you for being who you are and allowing me to be myself. Without all of you I think I would have lost my way.


LOVE YOU IN YOUR FACES!!

Week One... Or Should I Say Week Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Nine...

 That's how many weeks I have been alive (give or take a couple of days). Two thousand one hundred and seventy-nine. Yet here I am still fighting the same fights I have always fought. Self-image, self-acceptance, unrelenting standards, imposter syndrome.  Once again I find myself in a body that feels uncomfortable and unhealthy. It crept up on me slowly and suddenly all at the same time. I still barely eat any refined sugar. I turn down the lollies and cakes and doughnuts at work. It's not even a struggle, I no longer enjoy the way sugar makes my body feel. But my old nemesis, potato chips, remains undefeated. I eat potato chips to fill the emptiness in my soul. To feel as miserable physically as I do mentally or emotionally. To get comfort from an association with my childhood. It is the struggle I can't overcome. The war I can't win. So after months of trying on my own to no avail, months of the scales not budging, I have signed up for a healthy eating plan. I'm n

World Domination and the Darkness

"Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky -  try to take over the world!" Two things are clear to me , I love that cartoon and Brain never suffered from depression. You see it's much easier to try to take over the world if you don't have to use every ounce of motivation and determination in your body to get out of bed each morning. If Brain had suffered from depression it is likely he may have given up his plan after the first failure. For even the smallest hurdle can, to a depressive, seem like an insurmountable barrier. Now don't get me wrong, there are lots of depressed people who have achieved all sorts of amazing things. World domination while depressed is not completely impossible its just a hell of a lot harder. Before people start accusing me of being a whiner and making excuses I would first ask those people a) do you currently have or have you ever depression? and b) can you shut your stupid

Unsent Letter: Dear Broken Little Girl

Dear Broken Little Girl You've got the world fooled. With your masks and your costumes. With the illusion you have created. I'm not fooled anymore, I see who you truly are. I see the little girl terrified of revealing any weakness or cracks. The little girl who uses people for what they can do for her and then casts them aside until she needs them once more. I used to look at you and think you were so much more than me, that I was so much less. Now I realise that you will never be as much as me. Not until you are willing to be wrong, to be imperfect, to be fragile and vulnerable and human. Anybody can do what you do, yet you doubt my ability. You think you are so grown up and in control, but you're not. Everything you stand against, you have been. Everything you fight for, you've never endured. You are an empty shadow trying to fill yourself up at the expense of others. You once told me that I should learn to put myself first and say no. Well I've learnt. I
