Worth diamonds
Justin and I have been friends since we were 17, I think. We met on Easter Camp and he was the 1st ever boy to ask for my number. Before the internet and mobile phones, we all had landlines and omg the excitement of a boy calling for me was next level. Justin rang almost…

Friends make the world a much better place
I’m off mood stablisers and this is my 3rd week of withdrawing from them. It has been HELL. I’m not even kidding. So now that no medication is ‘stabilising’ me, I’m crying at the drop of a hat. Everything makes me cry. Toast that dropped on the floor – butter side up – I stared…

I miss him
I was walking through the city on my way home yesterday and there it was – a worn, dusty brown baseball cap on a table in Forest Chase. I looked around, in case someone had just gotten up and I could call out and tell them they’d left their hat behind…but noone was around. I…

Sandwich fillings
There I was, volunteering for the Salvation Army by wrapping people’s Christmas gifts for “a gold coin donation”. I LOVE WRAPPING GIFTS so OMG I was in my element!

Learning and growing
It’s been 2 weeks since I was first admitted to the Psychiatric Ward here at Hollywood Clinic. I can’t believe it’s been so long, it only feels like a few days.

I really believe everyone has 1 or more of these love languages: Words: being spoken to, written to lovingly – the opposite – being talked to harshly, told off, yelled at or written to in harsh words can break your heart Touch: Being held,…

I’ll ride with you
April 17, 2019 Hey, So not a lot has happened in my life since I last wrote to you. I suck at resting and I suck at getting anything done because the house is still a mess, my life in general is a mess and I’m tired even though I’ve not been in work for almost 6…

Glad to have been there
When I was a kid, the beach was my favourite place to be, my bike was magical and could transport me anywhere in the small town of Nhulunbuy. I grew up in the NT which was basically paradise – a beachside village for just over 1000 local residents. I would spend ALL DAY out on…

…and back UP they go
December 13, 2017 For goodness sakes. I’m totally fed up. I think I invite drama into my life unwittingly, you know. There I was…as happy as a clam, enjoying my awesome marriage, awesome job (omg I love this job), awesome friends and awesome life… …and then within the space of only a few hours, Kirsty…

Waiting
November 21, 2017 I feel like that’s what I’m doing lately – waiting. For what, I don’t know. Something good, I hope. Well – God willing – THIS FRIDAY, Alun and I get the keys to our new home. This Friday – we’ll be moving!!! God provided a new job for me only ONE DAY…
