Addiction
By SWD
Loving you came so natural to me
It filled every inch of my soul
With the possibility of light and depth
That flowed through my veins
Like a junkie incased in her addiction
Where my drug laid in your arms
Whilst your drug laid beneath
On the skin that quivered and craved
For one last touch
From her drug, from her addiction
Grief - How it feels?
Do you know what it's like? How did it hurt? How did it feel? What happens? When you lose someone? That moment they leave this world for the next?
Grief...
Leaves you numb inside Leaves you cold Your body closes down One section at a time,
Your eyes - lose focus Your hearing - silent Your mind - shuts down Your throat - is cut All you can hear are the screams in your head
Your limbs can’t move The emptiness surrounds you Every space available is engulfed
Your heart breaks over and over Every piece falling into the abyss A feeling of disconnection
A feeling of drowning Your fighting against the rapids Fighting against the pain Fighting against the hurt Fighting the embrace of loneliness
Just trying to breath Breath through the sharp reality of death The loss, the reality Trying to hold on to land, But getting pulled back into the cold dark place Tears falling caressing the lips that once smiled The tears of love Just hold your breath, for one last moment of normality Before grief creeps in again.
Grief - never ends, it changes, you learn, its the last piece of love you had for that person. Â Â
WHO COULD LOVE A BROKEN PERSON?
BY SWD
What happens to someone, when their soul shatters into a million pieces? Knowing their life is turned upside down and everything stops.
The reality kicks in and all those pieces are smaller and more complicated than before, and even harder to put back together?
Their body, their soul, and their heart did not want to mold back into the person they once were.Â
They are no longer able to adjust to their body. 
Changing adapting, but never truly being the same again. 

Could someone LOVE? Could someone Accept? Could someone who’s been broken allow someone to love them again?
Travel Destination: - New York. Flight - Virgin Atlantic Â

Unspoken Words...
By SWDÂ
(trapped inside your own mind, a storm building inside)Â
I loved you, We lost ourselves, You left, I missed you, You Died, Â I still loved you, Unspoken words, I forgive you, I never stopped loving you, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The distance, The silence, The separation, The emptiness, Was my way of living, To see you happy, To see you forget me, Was the hardest grief To Bare
The communication, Your voice, Your words, That cut deep, When all I wanted was you, For you to be by my side, When I was Ill, When I was Sad, most of all When I was HAPPY, To be that happiness, once more
You worried about me, You cared about me, In my mind, I placed you to the back, Trying to be happy, To learn the love I had for myself, To heal the scars, You etched on my skin, To learn to breathe, Without those words breathing down on me, To learn to feel Without loving you
To understand, Without your bitter words, but most of all, To find the women I lost, Whilst Trying to fit into a world not fitted for me
Your silence, Your death, Your heart beating one more time, Your eyes, that smile  Without saying Goodbye, The worse kind of silence Caused a storm inside me The anger, The frustration, The heartache, The sadness, Attaching itself to the corners of my heart
Not being able to breathe, Not allowing myself to feel, For the fear, it will destroy me. That the twister building from the core will sweep through my soul, engulfing all that is love, and beauty there, and leaving me destroyed on the ground, a crumbled mess, a bitter taste
That silence, The distance Moving on, wasn’t that the point Death, destruction, grief Destroyed that, Never saying goodbye, Never celebrating your life, Never celebrating the person I knew, The existent, where we once Laughed, Loved, argued, Protected, Absorbed each other goofy natures, four years cut from your life As if what we had, Was disposable                                                Â
Disposable to those who didn’t understand, but not to me. Your happiness, Your life, Is all I wanted for you To love, to be loved To be the Man I knew you where With or without me
Two Days, Forty-Eight Hours And two thousand eight hundred and eighty seconds The countdown Your deathbed Your last breaths Your last moments
Waiting… endless waiting,  for that phone call, that text message, confirmation...Â
My last words never said Just sitting, Just waiting Not knowing, silencing my words My feelings, To please those around you.Â
Not expressing, Not using my words To tell you ‘ That I love you’ and ‘i Forgive you’ Not to say goodbye, But till next time.
I now need to say Goodbye, I need to love you, to remember you To love those moments we had, To forgive the hurt we caused Though not letting go, but loving each other, Your heart is part of mine and mine is part of yours, Till my last breath, I will love you and I thank you For loving all of me, For that brief moment In your lifeÂ
 Now I Breathe.

NO-ONE TELLS YOU WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOVE AND TO LOOSE
No-one informs you, How and what it feels like when you give yourself completely to someone, A person that is chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction. That one person you show every flaw, perfection and layer too. Unravelling like an onion each layer just showing a bit more of you than the last, when you reach that point… the point you can’t imagine anyone making you as happy as you feel in their arms feeling safe, feeling loved and knowing they love you more than anything in the world, no place being as perfect as it is with them…
No-one informs you how and what it feels like when the person you gave yourself to so completely, A person that is chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction. No longer see’s your perfection, but who focuses on your flaws, those layers you unravelled becoming more and more destroyed with each hateful and hurtful word that flows out from their mouth, each word connecting and destroying each loving embrace you ever felt.
No-one informs you that once those words are said there is no turning back, once those layers are unravelled they can never be unseen, your heart can never be the same once that person who is chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction no longer want to protect but to destroy what you once had, by spite, hurt and anger.. creating a distance and destroying that place you once laid upon, the warmth that spread between their chest and your head, that place that is no longer there. Which is replaced with an icy and a cold embrace?
No-one informs you that your best friend will become your destroyer, your captive, your punisher… pushing you away but keeping you at arm’s length until that person, who was chosen by attraction and chemistry, who’s flaws of which they don’t notice and their perfections are all they can see. Who walks into their life and turns their once loved gaze from you, taking you into the dark and leaving you beneath your flaws to escape into your own perfection.
No-one informs you how and what it feels like when that person that was chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction, is no longer your person. The questions going through your mind, why, who and what did I do to deserve such disrespect, hurt and spiteful behaviour. What did I do that was that bad, that lead to the actions of one person’s dishonesty. For a while, you feel like the world is falling beneath you and you can’t do anything to stop it.. you feel everything is enhanced times one hundred, every sense and emotion is enhanced and numbed to the world around you, not knowing when the emptiness will end.
No-one tells you that when that person is chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction, no longer concerns your thoughts, when your anger turns to understanding, when your emotions no longer flow towards that person, when you realise that, that person is no longer your person chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction. They are but a memory you shared. Your past that you embrace and love, but no longer your present or your future.
No-one tells you that, that person you loved and shared your whole being with will become but a sketch on your brain. Whom you wish all the best and have an understanding that that person will always have a piece of you. As those layers can never be truly unshown, just changed and adapted for the next person, that new person who is chosen by connection, chemistry and attraction. Allowing that person to see below the layers that once were destroyed and can be fixed through love.
No-one tells you what it’s like when you fall In love With a person chosen for you by connection, chemistry and attraction, especially when you do it all over again.

What Advice would you give to your future daughter?
A video was created by women to capture the advice, that they would give to their future daughters. After thinking about this.. I thought what would i want my future daughter to know, what would i wish for her in a world that is developing so quickly that the innocence is being removed and destroyed before they even know what being a child is.
Here is what i would want my future daughter to know, what advice i would give and what i would offer her within her life.
-Always be Kind, never judge and always treat those the way you want to be treated. As those who bring out the best in you will respect, appreciate and see your beauty for every fault, imperfection as perfection.
-Protect your heart, but never be afraid to fall in love.
-Being good at sport doesn’t make you masculine, it makes you strong and healthy.
-Having Red hair can be seen as an imperfection, as ugly but it is beautiful, it is different, so much that people even pay to get what nature created.
-There is no limit to education, learning is one of life’s little gifts that everyone deserves to have.
-Being Different is Okay, it what makes you, You! never be afraid to express yourself..
-Intelligence is attractive.
-Play in the mud, get dirty fall over and get back up, brush it off and do it again, never be afraid to fall, its the falls that usually give us  the strength to get back up.
-Love your body for all of its perfections but also for the imperfections, No one person is the same and those imperfections that make you beautiful also make you stand out from the rest.
-Never feel pressured in to anything you do not want to do, sex is not an obligation.
-Never be afraid to be ambitious, the world is your playground.
-Never dumb yourself down to make someone else feel better, instead help them to achieve better by creating opportunities to learn from each other
-See the world, there is so much off it… but remember stranger danger this will be imprinted in your mind, cause even the nicest of faces can be hiding the darkest of secrets.
last but not least:
There will be people who will tell you that you are ugly, that you are not perfect, that you may be a little chubby, have to many freckles, or even to smart for them, but what i want you to remember is that… you are beautiful, you are perfect, you may have freckles cause your mother does, and you may have my red hair, but you are perfect and you are my daughter, and there is nothing more beautiful than that. So when those people try to bring you down, you remember that yourself and everyone else is perfect, even when society says they are not.  As beauty comes in many forms and you are one of them, Be a strong and independent women.
To my future daughter.
Be yourself and never be afraid to stick up for what you believe in, love every part of yourself. (even that red hair you may have inherited)
Love always
Your Mother
The Isle of Wight festival has returned for its annual event bringing artist and music lovers together to celebrate 45 years since Jimi Hendrix performed his last ever UK performance in 1970. Where th...
so last year i got the opportunity to work at the isle of wight festival, and my review was a hit so i am gonna post it here for you guys to view and let me know what you think, feedback is always good :-)Â
I like this quote in some ways, but in others i don’t.. I hate the word fat i think its such an ugly word,  to describe someone.
At the end of the day everyone has fat in their body, even those who are the slimmest, its normal! but i do think at some point in our lives  we have decide how much fat is right for us, before it causes health problems.
so we have to decide what we want a long healthy life of long and hard life… and for me its gonna be healthy and its gonna be hard to get to that point but i know it will be worth it. so i hope to get support from everyone in the same situation. sometimes a little motivation can go a long way
Hey these guys are definitely worth checking out :) love their Vocals and their music is beautiful thumbs up  :)Â
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.

OK Guys,
so i am not sure if any of you are like me, and seem to get more stressed about things when nothing seems to be going right. I have had just under a year to get myself on track, which has had its up and down and has slowly improved my health. But in that time i found myself always stressed, Stressed about money, as I had NO MONEY to really work with... like tuppence... after the bills got paid nothing really left to have much of anything, ( the downside to this government, is that they don’t have time for people who have actual health issues and trying to get themselves back to health to start back at work, as quickly as possible. They believe that a person can live off £74 a week and no housing or council tax support) which is used for bills, food which can be expensive especially if you have intolerance's and the rest well if u had any left, your lucky). I have to say i put my hands up to people who have to live off benefits because i know i would rather work than survive on £248 a month... as i am single women no children... which to the government doesn’t have a priority within the system and to be fair i wouldn’t want to rely on the goverment any longer than i had too.. and to top it off my Money was contribution based, from the money i put in to the tax system over the past 12 years. ( so me that was stress number 1)
(Stress Number 2) A long distance relationship... which in turn involves money to see each other, and you end up not seeing each other and not really communicating as much or on the same level as the first two years of your relationship... which led to stress and irritation and frustration, which in turn lead to miss communication and understanding and distance physically and mentally.. to say this did not last is an understatement. It ended up just becoming unwanted stress that neither of us needed, stressed because we wanted to spend more time together but physically financially we just could not. So we just ended up arguing more and it ended up with ‘us’ not being a priority to each other like we use to be.. which kicks in the emotions.... and boom STRESS!!
(Stress number 3) No work... ( even though now i am back in the world of employment starting next week) as i am officially Healthier.... than i have been for a while... so i am really looking forward to earning money again, to having more of a life and getting myself back on track and fingers crossed no more STRESS in my life.... well as little as possible... u can’t live completely stress free..
As we know stress is not good for people with diabetes in the long run it can cause some possible side effects and me admitting that i am stressed, is a big step... I never used to get this stressed, I was more a Happy go Lucky type of person, and i am doing little steps to bring that back, Meditation, Working out, reading, going for walks and writing.. I find this helps a lot! And yes its a bit personal but sometimes you got to get personal to get over the next hurdle.. so if you suffer from stress as i do, i found it useful to concentrate on the positive, find something that makes you smile, talk to people, and to just BREATH... the easiest thing to do and sometimes the one thing we take it for granted.Â
