The End...

100.

Why are we here? What is the point to this huge social experiment we are partaking in? You don't know? Yeah me neither.

You'd think for my one hundredth post it would be something inspiring, something I have spent a long time putting together. The truth is it isn't. I'm sat here with no reason at all to write. I have nothing meaningful to say...at least I don't think I do, let's just see how this pans out.

I have a confession, I've thought about stopping. I've been questioning myself about carrying this on. "What's the point" my mind is asking. My reply is, well, I have no reply. What is the point? Is the point egotistical reasons? Maybe, sometimes. Is the point to help me? It was and more than likely will be again one day. But right now, this moment there is no reason to carry this on. Not like I have been anyway. Trying hard to post something new each week. I'm enjoying the space from the pressure I found I created for myself. Of course if I have a desperate urge to jot down some words for you to read I will. But for now I'm going to just allow myself to breath for a little while.


I want to focus more on other things. Photographs, seeing the beauty in what I'd  normally ignore. I need to focus on upcoming challenges such as learning to drive. I want to get out more and grow my confidence, I want to see myself as a strong, confident 25 year old tackling a scary world. I want to start a family. I want so many things and I won't achieve any of them by doing nothing.


I'd like you to do the same, if you aren't. Come see the outside with me. Look at the trees and see their beauty. I've fallen in love with the trees. Find your voice with me, no more letting others treat you badly. Let's shout to the clouds together. Let's go and take as many photographs as we want and post them all onto Instagram with no shame whatsoever.


Let's go have an adventure together.




Much love
Beth xx

  1. Beth,

    Do not put yourself under pressure to write for other people. Write for yourself and do not worry about how many people view it or comment on it.

    I have not updated my blog for a week or two because I have had nothing I wanted to say. That does not mean I will not continue, just that I do not feel pressured to put a new blog up purely because people expect it.

    Do it in your own time - do it for you - do it for your dad if you want, but do not do it for other people because you feel that you have to.

    Write when you want in your own time.

    Lots of love,

    Jo

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

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 fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
