I'm gonna call her Susan

Buses suck right? smelly people, bad driving and rude drivers but there is something relaxing about staring out a window with your favourite music watching the world move right pass you. It can make you feel like you're just existing another grain of sand on the beach. But all that is far too negative and when negativity comes in abundance you have to try your best to equal out the score for positivity. Its like a football game in your head, but there is no ball being kicked just your self esteem !

I like to involve myself with people who I see on my journey, no not talking to them, that is far too social for my liking. I give them names, jobs, a life story you name I'll give it to them, this definitely helps when stuck in traffic or at lights that could give statues a run for their money.

It's escapism, you feel like a writer they can be anything you can mold them and in a way mold yourself to be kind to them give them nice attributes and stories, however a bad day can make me call everyone stupid names and say they live alone with 1000 cats but then again, I wouldn't complain.

It's taught me you have a choice in how you act to people and that the smallest things can make them laugh or smile and then that makes you feel good, 1-0 to positivity! Next time you're on a bus or train try it, creativity releases toxicity from  within and then half the time you come off feeling better.

Who knew a bus ride could make me happy.

Guessing you want a back story huh ?!

Well I wish there was an interesting story that I could tell you, but it is just the same 'tragic' story that you hear on X factor or BGT. I lost a lot of people on my journey to become an adult one of them being my father. I lost friends both through death and due to, well I guess being caught in a web of despair and being a weird emo chick with eyeliner thicker than a chicken thigh, I mean I don't know the guidelines in the manual of how to cope with death when you're 15 but pretty sure I didn't follow any of them, everyone loves a rebel right?! School was tough, being poor didn't help kids can be cruel about what you do and don't have. Oh and being clever apparently is something to be mocked, I know lets enjoy that now when I'm the one with the degree. Even though yet I haven't achieved anything with it, yet, standard graduate crisis. An turbulent relationship with my mother then gift wrapped my teen years for me with many arguments, which did...

The world doesn't help anyone

This year has been a very tragic and eventful year and many things determined this year are going to change the world as us millennials know it. Brexit and all the terror attacks that have been committed by a small minority of extremists. However the issue has arisen that when an attack is committed by a white individual they have a mental health issues but any other race is just known as an attack. For someone with mental health I can understand that some with mental health conditions can lead to a small percentage of of people committing crimes against others because they have not received the right help. The media are very quick to judge and blame the individual and yes they should they did the crime but there should be a deeper look into the system itself. It is failing most of society because there are not enough people to work within the mental health system due to a lack of funding and there is still a detrimental ignorance towards mental health and this knowledge is needed to...

The black hole

So when things go bad, wrong or I lose something I thought would be in my life forever and end up in what I call a black hole, it has two steps really. The first I pretend it doesn't really matter too much, I drink a lot, smoke a lot and basically let loose but a bit too much its definitely on the fence of being a little crazy but then i have never fallen into the trap of things are either black or white in my life its mostly grey. The second I retreat, I hide myself away regret mistakes I made in the first step from being a drunk mess 90% of the time. I shut down, I barely speak to anyone. I get bad thoughts that definitely interrupt my days and I find myself either full to the brim of emotion or emotionless and in all honesty I am not sure which one is worse. The first step is very short lived in comparison to the second. About 2-3 weeks of crazy and then the worst is that i cannot put a time on the second. The last time I was in a black hole it was a few months. I have a...
