Can I change?

8.

Hello my loves. Please take a few minutes out of your lives to listen to Beautiful Tragedy by Mike Dignam, it's truly amazing I don't think you would regret listening to it. I'm seriously going to have to write a blog about all of my favourite songs, well only if you'd like me too?

I'm currently sitting here wearing my glasses that I'm so desperately trying to get used too but my head hurts so I'm taking the annoying things off! 

Right then, it has literally taken me so many attempts to write this blog, the subject matter has changed each time but I've settled on what I'm writing about now so I will get on with it :)

MOTIVATION! I possibly have zero motivation! I know it's bad and yes I'm ashamed but for some reason I can not fibre up the energy to be motivated when doing things. Are any of you like this? 
I don't know where it stems from but I've been like this for most of my life. I go through phases of telling myself I will stick to things such as exercising, losing weight, studying etc but I never do, I get distracted (I'm getting distracted right now) and I just don't know how to stop myself from being like this!! HELP ME

My continuous lack of motivation during school, college and now my early adulthood (at the tender age of 23) I have no clue what to do with my life. I see what others my age are doing now and I can't help feeling inadequate. I seem to have no idea what I'm doing, I've got myself into a routine that I want to change but can't be bothered too, I'm too scared too. 
HOWEVER I have recently signed up to do a Dementia Care course, seeing the path life has taken my dad down, I want to understand more about Dementia and MND. I have to complete the course in around 14 weeks I believe so there's four things I'm hoping for...

1. I can complete the course in the allotted time so I don't get a fine  
2. The course will open my mind to a possible career path
3. I won't leave everything till the last minute 
4. I will help others

I haven't looked at the booklets yet...

This may sound like an excuse but I feel like it comes from a lack of confidence, when I feel like I won't be able to do something instead of trying I won't try at all, or I'll put very little effort in so that I prove to myself I can't do it. In a previous blog I mentioned that I don't like to feel as though I am being judged so because I convince myself I'm going to look silly in front of others I won't take part in the activity. I find myself standing watching the people around me having fun while I stand on the side lines wishing I was joining them. 
It's a strange way of thinking but sadly it's become my way of thinking. 

Hopefully with this course and this blog I can get out of thinking this way. 
Don't let me give up...please.

Much love

  1. You are right, it's all about confidence and inner strength.
    But I think you are selling yourself short there babe. You are writing a blog about yourself, your thoughts, fears and inner turmoil. If that isn't a strong, confident woman, then blow me, what is?
    You are amazing x x ��

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of...

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie...

My beautiful Dad

54. Hello my loves, you have followed me journey with my Dad for quite some time now. You my loves have been the ones I've expressed my feelings too when I've been struggling. You've been the ones I have tried to raise awareness with. You've been there for me when I've felt a bit lost. I updated you last week about my Dad and the fight he was continuing to fight even though it was becoming a bit too much of a battle to beat. It breaks my heart to tell you loves that my beautifully brave Dad lost his fight on Friday 13th February. I'm pretty devastated if I'm completely honest with you all. But I'm so immensely proud of his strength and courage, how he fought and boy did he fight , he was truly incredible.  Emotions come over me in waves, today I spent most of the day okay, just plodding along but tonight I've had a huge break down, crying seems to appear from no where. Today we cleared his room out at the home and it just didn't seem real. ...
