Have you ever been in such a low place where you think why am I here? What is the point of living? And of course, why me? That’s my favourite. Ha not really but it does go through my mind a lot. And if you have thought these, I don’t have the answers but there’s a saying ‘what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger’ and I actually believe this. I can’t make you believe it; I can’t change your mind. But I can tell you it is going to be okay. I was talking with my parents the other night and we realised Em’s 2023 was the first for many things in our family. It is not we thought, not what we planned, not what we dreamed of. But I am still here. I won’t stop fighting; I will fight until I have nothing left. Even then, I won’t give up (I have definitely wanted too) Someone asked me the other day, what’s next? What’s next for Em! I answered with this. to be honest, I am scared. I have no idea. I had plans 10 years ago and that didn’t happen. I am so scared that I have no plans and have no idea what is and what will happen. I actually feel ashamed to say that. But it is the truth. But I know right now I am loving life. I am the happiest I have been in a very long time. I am getting my health back on track. And I have no clue what 2024 will bring but I will take one day at a time and continue to put my health and myself first. And visiting my family is a priority. And I will be always growing, learning, loving, and enjoying life.

And whatever is going on in your world I hope the best for you. Please push through. I know life is shit sometimes but life is also good. Keep thriving to be the best you can.

If you have been through good or bad times. And you have done firsts in your family. Or you just have no idea what is around the corner. Well darling, it is going to be okay. I know you probably have heard this a lot and over it. But I know from experience it will be. Life gets better. People want you to be okay. People want you to be you and happy and healthy, but don’t rush and don’t force it. It all takes time and time is valuable and important. Please don’t put pressure on yourself as that does not help. And if has been a good year well, it will continue to be and I hope it will be, there is more around the corner.

Everyone deserves to be happy and have the best in life.

even those who have hurt you.
