Merry Christmas.

I had the day alone again. It was good but I think I want to shake things up next year.

Dear mam

It's been your birthday today. The 2nd one today without you. It feels weird still. I feel sad but I got through the day by doing things I enjoy. I am going to an open day on Friday. Peer support worker. I feel like I am finding my vocation. I am finding out who "Dawn" is. I do wonder if I really am happy or if I'm just pretending to be? I'm doing the whole "when i..." Thing that I usually do.  Am I doing that because I want to make changes (job/house) or am I doing it because I'm unhappy and I feel this will make me happy? I honestly don't know.  I guess that's the problem.  I have nobody who really knows me around anymore and I am just wondering what to do. Anyway, I love you mam. Dawn xxxx

cheesy Christmas TV movies.

You know those films that channel 5 show all daytime that anyone else thinks are really tacky and bad? Well, I love them. I can (and do, on occasion) spend all day watching those movies from about October onwards. In fact,bad soon as the Christmas movie channel comes on the TV, that's the time I go into overdrive, watching as many films as I can. I've watched a lot. Most are, honestly, bad. There's cheesy storylines. There's wooden acting. There's the "misunderstanding" that happens 30 minutes before the film ends but then, by the end, everything is sorted and everyone lives happily ever after. And I love every second of them. Its pure escapism, and it makes me happy watching these and that's the important thing. And, actually, there are some decent one's among the trash. There's a few I've seen more than once, that has a great story and great acting. For me, Christmas wouldn't be the same without my Christmas TV movie binge.

A letter to me

Dear Dawn, 2021, what a year! And you are still here. You are still waking up every morning and carrying on. You sometimes don't see how strong you are. Sure, you breakdown, but the important thing is that you get back up. You survive. Think about all the things that you have gone through, and how you came out the other side. You survived all of that stuff, and when you think you can't go on, you find the inner strength that you have, and you do survive. You don't tell yourself enough but you are a strong, independent woman, who is stubborn when she needs to be and vulnerable. But you wear that vulnerability with a determination that whatever life throws at you, you manage to juggle. You are the leading lady in your life. Don't let things build up and worry you. You are capable of dealing with things, and people are around you to help. You are not alone. Talk to people about how you feel, and let yourself feel things, no matter what. But don't let the bad emotions a...
