Some people may think this is an odd thing to do, but comfort is key when you're not feeling well.
I didn't buy it to spend my life in it; just the odd duvet day and most evenings.
I have a few long-term goals I'm aiming towards as I reach 30 in two year's time and I'm still unemployed, still living at home, and still struggling with my mental health.
Firstly, to get through the next stage of treatment, a new form of therapy designed to help me manage my past traumas and find healthy ways of letting go, but not reverting back to burying it all. I've learned denial doesn't work in the long term.
My 30th gift to myself is a little trip to Rome. I've been saving since last year and I really want to make this dream happen. I'd also like to have the ball rolling on moving out by that time, if not shortly beforehand. I'd like the big 3-0 to be me stepping out as a (almost) independent woman, standing on my own two feet.
In the 5 year plan, I'd be doing part-time paid work, living on my own, and supporting myself mentally with the help of relatives and friends when necessary; nobody can do it all alone nor should they.
I'd be working towards in the 10 year plan having a full-time job which financially means I no longer have to rely on Government assistance for housing or other amenities. One day in that future I'd be saving towards a car, too.
I have no plans of doing nothing with my life. However I do know when I have to take a back seat and let my brain catch up to the outside world, and that should be okay.
I have lots of exciting projects coming up in the next few weeks that I'll be talking about once completed! Things are feeling positive again and I'm ever so thankful to those who have been here through the constant rain.
The sun has got it's hat on...
