So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, because most of the time rewards come from things that scare you the most. Maybe you will get everything that you wish for, maybe you’ll get more than you could ever imagine. In matters of style swim with the current, in matters of principle stand like a rock. You are who you are and nothing can change that, don’t change yourself for man because they should accept you for the way you are. No one is perfect, we all have strengths and weaknesses. As long as you try 100% in everything you do, remember that the only time you fail is when you stop trying. Never give up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hang in ThereSometimes there are bad days when life becomes a fight, and all you can do is to hang on in there tight.Remember dawn comes after darkness and the fiercest storms don’t last. In the future this hard present will become a distant past.So here’s a simple message, and I hope that you will heed it, I’m always here to help you so call me if you need it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lately I’ve realised that things no matter how heart wrenching it can be at the time, it all happens for a reason. Tears are streaming down my face as I write this, my closest friend is moving away, going back to her hometown in the Caribbean. I nearly lost my mother a month or so ago and I’m still reeling from the shock of it all. It really hasn’t been an easy six months or so. But I think at last I’m starting to come through it, I had an incredible 18th party last week and I felt so much more relaxed and that I could really and truly be my own person, the realisation of this has made me very emotional. So all I can say is look out people I’m back and I’m back with a vengeance. ? Doesn’t mean that there won’t be wobbles along the way of course there will be, but I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and I can deal with challenges that are sent my way. For the first time in a very very long time I feel at peace, with the world and myself. Bring on the summer! Reply to this Article |

sofiamorgan is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you all for your comments. They are really all appreciated.
Tisha - Summer has indeed brought me a huge amount of happiness and good things (I survived my results!). I treasure and cherish my friends and family and she knows that I will always be there for her. I've now given up running for trians...for now at least...come september and back to school time...I will be running. Whatever befalls me good things or bad I will always try to learn from them I am a great believer in the policy 'it's not how you fall down but how you get up'
English chick - You are 100% right be happy for who you are. You can only be your best possible self, if others cannot accept that then it is their loss and someone else's gain.
Anon - Your kind words touched me deeply. I will indeed keep shining it on others. Thank you for those beautiful words.

You have what is known as the warrior spirit and that warrior within you will bend in many weathers but it will not break. Always remember that sunshine throughout your life! and keep shining it on others. x

Wow that was beautilful!
I found it hard to love my b/f after my grandfather died and i never really noticed anything after.
He ended up dumping me because of it but i am totally happy with myself for me.
Good words!

 sofiamorgan,
Thank you for this very uplifting article. To learn through adversity is something to be admired, and I think you're doing just great.
I hope your summer brings good things and happy times; and remember, no matter how far friends might be in the physical sense, they will always be your friends. Cherish them and treasure them. And you know what else? Back in the dark ages, when man had to rely on the postman to deliver messages, moving away meant losing contact. Nowadays, you can keep up with what's happening, share pictures and stories and your daily events with just a few keystrokes. (Does that sound like the start of a lecture? "When I was a child I had to walk to school uphill through a snowstorm. Both ways.")
Happy summer! And remember, RICE. Also don't run for trains.
