The definition of stupid, or?
Th I remember it all, just like it was yesterday, well most of it... I was at my local pub, it was a Saturday night in autumn. The weather was just right, not too hot but also not cold enough to wear a jacket. I was wearing black flares and black boots with a heel much higher than I was used to ~ and I was pretty impressed with how well I was navigating in the heels after a few too many wines. Up top, I was wearing a shimmering silver singlet top with sequins on it.. It sounds atrocious but it was actually quite stylish for the times. I was never a huge makeup girl but I had a small amount on, a little powder, a little eyeliner, lip gloss and mascara, just to offer some highlights.

Savouring The Flavour of Life
To The Lake It was a sun-filled morning. Classic forever blue heaven above me. It was then I decided while looking out the screenless window that I shall drive to a lake. It wasn't as spontaneous as it sounds. I had just been camping no more than a week before. (Which, much to my dismay, wasn't as relaxing nor enjoyable as it could have been - lousy company) Anyways I decided to drive to a small lake I once disliked.

Turn Your Pain into Passion and Find Your Authenticity
By a show of hands... How many of us have had our hearts broken? I’m not talking puppy dog love gone wrong on the playground broken, I’m talking about a heartbreak so bad you can physically feel the pain. If you have had the unfortunate experience to understand that kind of pain, let me say, “I’m sorry.”

Stepping Into The Light
They say a lack of memory of your childhood in itself is indicative of childhood trauma within itself. Not only do I have very few childhood memories, when I do look back the feelings of fear, sadness and inadequacy are tangible and suffocating to say the least. I don't really remember y parents together at all. Just the strained nature of their relationship post divorce. Neither of them were shy to let their opinions of the other from spilling out in front of their children. In review of the situation as an adult I can appreciate how deeply unhappy my mother was and that she thought she was doing her best, as a mother now myself I can confirm the intuitive feeling I've had all along towards it. It was good enough. If I wasn't living up to her exact ideals and expectations I was admonished, berated and vilified. God forbid anything good happened for me, then I was the subject of bitterness and jealousy. In my early twenties I took my mother to a rugby match at Twickenham only for her to have a few too many pints and tell me that I had in fact ruined her life by even existing. By my teens being screamed at and humiliated was how I thought it was supposed to be. The feeling of worthlessness and general emotional toil were as much a part of me and any generic character trait. I didn't find much comfort in my peers, not quite one of the cool kids but floating on the edge, adding to my sense of inadequacy and displacement. My grandparents were my only source of comfort really. My mother did her best to ruin that as well. I've lost count of the lies and manipulations she's fed the family over the years. Ever situation a warped version of events where she is of course with out blame and always cast as the victim. The universe itself is against her and anyone who doesn't agree with every aspect of her delusions along with it.

The Diagnosis
I barely remember what happened during the days following my diagnosis with type 1 diabetes. I don’t even think I remember when I truly found out what type 1 diabetes was. In fact, I had to have my mom look over my version of the story to make sure my memory was accurate, and there were so many aspects of her side of the story I don’t remember to this day. For those who don’t know, type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where a person’s antibodies destroy beta cells produced in the pancreas, causing them to stop producing insulin. Insulin transports the sugar from the food they eat from their blood into their cells. The destruction of theses insulin-producing cells prevents the body from getting the energy it needs unless insulin is manually injected. Type 1 diabetics need to monitor the amount of sugar in their blood to make sure it's not too high or too low. This is a disease that the individual must live with for the rest of their lives once they’re diagnosed. Even though progress is being made in developments towards 3D printed pancreases and experimental drugs to delay its onset, there is no cure as of this writing. Even though I've forgotten a lot of what happened after the diagnosis, I’ll never forget the actual diagnosis day. From then on, my life would never be the same.
