Different…

I feel this pink rose represents me and many others. Still the look the same if one petal was different/removed as I do after the tbi. Like if one petal was removed it would still look the same but it would know something was missing. Feel slightly different. Not saying it’s good or bad just […]

Sadness

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. This brain thing is punishing me more than I thought I even knew, I feel like I’m missing out on the ‘normal’ life that a 25/26 year old should have and they are people’s prime years 😦 Sadness is a very simple but explanatory word

Serendipity…

I could say that there was serendipity involved in Caroline and family coming into our lives, and Aoibheann (both victims of tbis) living in my street and that we both love horses, and the fact that I happen to live within 5 minutes of the places that I need so much at the moment – […]

Crazy how things work!

Last night my beautician who I’ve been going to for the past fourteen years came and gave me some lovely reflexology and she knew when she did it about all my problem areas! As expected my head wasn’t like a “normal” head, the left side of your body was very tight, as was my neck. […]

This is probably not what you need/want to read but I feel so blue. I don’t know what I can do to pick myself up! Any ideas? I know some of you are probably thinking wise up! Pick yourself up and sort yourself up! Easier said than done. This long, slow process is wearing me […]
