How To Be A Good Parent
To the mother who breastfed her baby; I know the amazing feeling that comes with knowing your little one is getting everything they need. I know too, the sheer exhaustion you have felt when it’s all down to you, your nipples are cracked, and you don’t get a break. We are not rivals.•To the mother …
Judgement
I get scared when people are judgemental. What will they think if they see me in my wheelchair? Or with my walking stick? Or parked in a disabled bay with my blue badge? Are they judging me on my weight? Do they think that I’m lazy as well as fat? Do they assume I just …
Self Care: Vital not Vain
elf Care I was reminded today that people shouldn’t be ashamed to take antidepressants. If you were diabetic, you’d take your insulin. If you were lacking in Vitamin D, you’d take supplements. So why, if you’re lacking in serotonin, do you struggle to take antidepressants? Self care is so bloody important; it matters over every …
Love Wins. Always
I don’t hide my love for Jade anymore. I found my soulmate, it just so happens she’s a woman. Some people in my life aren’t cool with that, which hurts me. Why can’t they see I am so happy? In love? Respected? Treated well? I’ve come from 2 relationships with men that were, in their own way, …

Comparison With Others
Whilst applying for work I’ve been able to be a little reflective, and therefore stressed lol. I realise that my degree got me nowhere because for some jobs I’ve had to remove my degree off my CV in order to get an interview. And I’m physically limited because of my disability. I’m like jack of …
Small Circles
We have 150+ friends on Facebook, we have several contacts in our phone, we may have hundreds of followers on Instagram or Twitter…but in reality we keep our circles small. Quality over quantity every time, for me anyway. I have lots of acquaintances on social media and out of that lot, I could probably count …
