It’s a fight
Everyday
To get up
To function
To breathe
To be
Or not to be
To question
To know
That I may have won today
But the war continues tomorrow
It’s a fight
Everyday
To get up
To function
To breathe
To be
Or not to be
To question
To know
That I may have won today
But the war continues tomorrow
So here I am.
Sitting at in my ‘student house’ with text books all around me. A hot mug of herbal tea to comfort me and warm me up .
I did it.
Despite everything I’m here. I’m alive. I’m a student on track to graduate in 9 months with a first class degree. I have an incredible boyfriend who is about to go on his own adventure to Texas for a year. I have an incredible family who support me and love me through everything, including a beautiful baby niece Abigail whom I love to pieces, but reminds me that I am so not ready for a baby yet.
I have so much to be thankful for, so much.
My home is calling
My bed beckons
The kettle has boiled
The tea awaits my return
The sheets are fresh
And the cupboards are full
The clothes are folded
And the heat is on
My heart longs for the day
My key turns in that door
And I walk in to my house
Put down my bags and sigh
It might not be much
It might need a few tweaks
But there in those walls
I feel safe, I feel at home
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I sincerly hope youve had the most incredible 21st birthday. Here are all the things I would give you if I could…
I might not be able to facilitate or afford these things, but its the thought that counts right? I can, however, give you lots and lots of love and cuddles and another year of adventures and memories to come.
Happy Birthday Elliot.
