A letter to my younger self

A letter to my younger self 

I thought this would be a nice idea and I have seen this beautifully done before, so I thought I'd give this a go.

Dear my younger self 

I know you are finding growing up a challenge and struggling with school, exams and trying to keep up with therapies. But it will be good for you in the long run. I know you are scared about loud noises and you hate when you know fire alarm test coming but just relax and let it go. Noises will always be your fear but you will learn to work through them and learn that they are there to keep us safe.

You will become more independent and won’t have to strongly rely on people to support but you will learn to be very grateful for their help. You will get a better understanding of your disability and start to learn how you can do personal tasks yourself throughout the day. Things will be tough but you are strong enough to face your fears and in the long run will make you see life on a easier route.  

Life will be a mixture of ups and downs but as you go through life you will see there will be more ups than downs. You will experience some beautiful opportunities that will take your breath away. You will travel to some lovely places in the world and make the most of seeing the lovely views of different places.

You are going to have lots of changes in what you are interested in but thats okay. It is good to have lots of good ideas of what you want in life as it gives you the opportunities to experience different subjects in life so you can decide what is best for you. It doesn't matter what you decide to do, I will just follow your lead and just guide you in the right direction so you don't get yourself carried away. 

You will do things that you really don't want to do, you will scream and shout but I can tell you now its the best for you . Just listen to the people around you as they know best. It’s not great to try to get out of because your going to make the situation worse. You might be pleasantly surprised of how good it will be for you.

I love how unique you are, I know you get upset because you see yourself different from the rest but you aren't different you are you and there’s only one of you. So be yourself, don't annoy yourself because its good to be different and it’s good to be you. Love yourself for who you are, not who you want to be.


Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed it.

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
