Share Your World – 6/3/19

Questions:

Do you think there is such a thing as a ‘gendered’ brain?  

I believe that we all have a bit of a gendered brain. Some just happen to have more than gender than another gender. What does it even mean to have a gendered brain? Do boys have a more “masculine” gendered brain?

What is the silliest fear you have? 

Ones I have now are probably too personal to write about on WordPress at this moment in time. When I was little though, I used to fear red apples, because of a certain little movie.

Out of your family members, who are you closest to?

Maybe lame, but I am probably closest to my Mum now, these days. It used to be my Grandmother, but unfortunately she’s starting to become a bit angry. She’s kind of always been a little grumpy, but she’s started making catastrophes out of nothing. We think something happened to her, but she wont tell us what. Mum and I have gotten closer and a lot more honest with each other in the last couple of years.

What is something you’ll NEVER do again?

I will never waste my time or my life again worrying about toxic people and toxic friendships (relationships are just a given, but I don’t see us breaking up anytime soon with my current partner. I love him and it’s the healthiest relationship I’ve ever had).

Gratitude and Thankfulness

I made myself take a mental health day. I haven’t felt I’ve needed one for such a long time and it’s okay to have one day every now and then.

A year ago today…

I am not sure how many of my readers have a Facebook, but on Facebook ever so randomly they have this “app” called “TimeHop” and what it does is it allows brings up a post from say a year ago from today or 5 years ago and you can post it onto your Facebook. I don’t actually have this app on my Facebook, but it still randomly shares posts and today it decided to share a post today. Reminding me that a year ago I broke up with my ex.

One of my roughest break ups ever for myself personally. My ex had been chasing me for months and then when I finally decided to break down and say “Yes” it moved very quickly and then it was over a month later. It wasn’t just over but my ex treated me very cruelly afterwards as well and honestly I still believe, till this day that he never cared. I hated the song by “A Great Big World, feat Christina Aguilera” … “Say Something” because that’s pretty much what happened. He wanted to break up and then refused to talk to me and decided, of all the friends he had, to go and tell the first person we had broken up, the person who hated me the most? The guy was horrible to me….Obviously. Made no sense.

I never thought that I could trust someone, let alone love someone ever again.

Yet, here I am a year later and I am in love with someone who is like the most incredible person I have ever met and takes such good care of me. I can’t even explain how happy he makes me. He’s honestly also the first boyfriend I’ve had that actually makes me feel he really wants me around. That is SUCH  an unusual feeling for me and sometimes it still makes me a little sad that it’s taken me this long to find someone who treats me like that =/

It amazes me where my life has taken me since this day. I never thought that a year later I would be here. Stronger, happier, feeling more fulfilled. When I think about how I felt and how long it took for me to trust my current partner, it still astounds me that I am here.

Suck in the hate…breathe out the love

Today I am feeling so incredibly for the strength in my heart and the people who very rarely and very randomly will tell me how proud they are of me. It feels like lately every time I stand up to stand for a cause instead of anyone saying anything positive or proud of me, all I seem to get is grief.

I’m just at a point in my life where I just don’t care anymore, but it bugs the crap out of me. If there is one thing my las ex taught me, this is MY life…My ONE life…And no one is worth getting that upset over. It’s just that one group always isn’t it? Since I’ve taken them out I’ve done a hell of lot less crying and I feel grateful for my life. They just always have to nit and pick, they just can’t stay out of your life!

I am so incredibly grateful and feel blessed for the people that I’ve met on #SafariLive and the #BabyOstrichCam and also include the sweet blogger that I’ve met on WordPress…I don’t know what I’d do without you all!

Saying this all, I have just received an overwhelming flood of support. I’ve been writing about Cecil the Lion and have been “told off” about how dare I care more about a Lion than other human beings.
