Knowing that this can't be it. The rest of my life has to be better. I have to make it better.

Because I have plans for the future,
I want to be a veterinarian...
I want to have a family,
I want to mean something in the world,
and make a difference.

The fact that my Dad went through the same feelings as I have and came out on the brighter side and is now living life to the full.

I tried to stay focussed on that for the past 2 weeks but the urge overtook me only 20 minutes ago.

My dad told me to listen to "Shine" by Take That and said this is how he felt about me and how he knew I would get better:

You, you're such a big star to me
You're everything I wanna be
But you're stuck in a hole and I want you to get out
I don't know what there is to see
But I know it's time for you to leave
We're all just pushing along
Trying to figure it out, out, out.

All your anticipation pulls you down
When you can have it all, you can have it all.

So come on, come on, get it on
Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine.

Stop being so hard on yourself
It's not good for your health
I know that you can change
So clear your head ang come round
You only have to open your eyes
You might just get a big surprise
And it may feel good and you might want to smile, smile, smile.

Don't you let your demons pull you down
'Cause you can have it all, you can have it all.

Hey let me know you
You're all that matters to me
Hey let me show you
You're all that matters to me.

Hey let me love you
You're all that matters to me
Hey so come on yeah
Shine all your light over me.

Hope this helps some other people out there xx

- knowing that no matter how long the tunnel maybe - there is light at the end of it - somewhere.
- Knowing she loves me.

my family. Remembering how much my parents care and believe in me. Remembering all those years ago when they found out about my SI and it was so upsetting, and my brother just came and sat with me and stayed with me.

that, and all the books I haven't read yet. :)

Where the ocean meets the land,
It's time to live again,
And pull my dreams out of the sand.

Because I'm 14, and there's so much I want to see and do with my life, and some of the crap stuff, like going to school, is something I have to work throught to get myself there.
So I get on with it because I want to live my life my own way.

That's how I feel sometimes too.

Today, I'm going to school right now because of Bus and everyone on it. Thank you for helping me! I cannot say that enough.

Glad that BUS has been a good inspriation to get you to school :D It's a great place to be :)

And why I try?? I know that I've got a chance at Uni, something nobody else in my family ever managed to do, to go abroad like my family never did, and to have a life I want but SI wont do that, perservering will get me there.
Just let time tell the story, and act accordingly. (Phrase by myself)
H.A.L.T!!! (Genius!!)
These feelings too, shall pass. (BUS phrase?)
