Ok, I'm Sorry

So yeah the last time I wrote on here was like summer; oops!!! The thing is I can't even pull out the I'm a young carer card because I have so had the time to do this and really its a pants card to pull! 

So here is my slightly deranged sorry present: once the new year rolls on tonight i will update you on my family and love packed festive season! 

Once again,I'm sorry!!! :(

Growing Up Faster

This is one of those unplanned posts where I’ll think while I write! You know when you have that topic of conversation but you have no idea what you actually want to write about and focus on. 

I had this thought looking at the world around me that I know I’ve grown up a bit faster, I know my childhood wasn’t standard and I know my bond with my parents is unbreakable but it's not a bad thing.

Looking back I know I learnt to do things a couple of years before the average child but hey it was fun. Oh and by the way parents just because I’ve grown up faster doesn’t mean I’m tidier!

Growing up faster just gives you some skills earlier on. It can make you look at the world in a different way but it can never really change who you are. Growing up faster made me realise what I have slightly earlier on; it allowed me to see that yes I’m different and I struggle but there are so many people in worse situations.

That's really about all there is. It's simple really you grow up and you carry on with life; you are you and no matter how quickly you grow up you'll always be you.

Motability Roadshow

On the 29th June 2013 we went as a family to the Motability Road show in Telford. The show involved different companies of car manufactures and a mixture of companies and charities display a range of different things to help with a person’s mobility.

On arriving in Telford we set out to start our wonder round in the hope of collecting leaflets and free stuff. Each different hall had a different set of companies/charities in there. Halls1 and 2 were cars and to me boring things. Hall three was every single thing mobility related, from the standard electric scooter to a disabled friendly climbing wall, and yes we did give it a try!

You see that was the thing about the Mobility Road show you were in a place Surrounded by people in a similar situation and you felt almost at home and no one judged anyone.

Until the next interesting thing

A fond farewell to you all xxx

Sorry for the Parting but Hey i'm Back and Stealing Words

Well very time no see and I'm sorry but hey that's life who ever you are. 

Life has its ups and downs, it moves fast then slow and you pull away from the things you love but you always spring back. That's the thing with life it is never constant. 

Right i'm going to steal the words of a very clever person to say what I'm trying and failing to say:

Life

Life is laughter
Life is hope.
Life is after
Life is soap.

Life is blue
Life is yellow.
Life is true
Life is mellow.

Life is tears
Life is sadness.
Life is fear
Life is madness.

Life is here
Life is now.
Life is there
Life is how.

Life is why
Life is white.
Life is sky
Life is bright.

Life is shove
Life is breath.
Life is love
Life is death.

Friends

So, now i'm going to go all sentimental on you and talk about friends because they are the family I chose (not that i don't love my actual family) and they bring a smile to my face everyday.  

So for example me and Katie here, we were bored and it was black and white and this  is what I mean these people allow me to be me and I get to let go










The Summer School Girls, now ok right there we don't look to happy but we were acting and it's cool.  They are a group of people, boys and girls, that i can go right back to my childhood with and really let go.








Alex, now everyone needs a Alex in their life she brings joy to whatever she wants including me even on the hardest of days.










Now, this is old but this is all of us together in our PJs just being us and letting go, chilling.











I guess what i' trying to say is that these girls mean the world to me and losing one of them would be like losing an arm or a leg. My young carers tip , value your friends they can be the sun on your rainy day.

Long Time No Post

So, Long time no post but that's the thing with being a young carer life gets so busy that things like this blog get pushed to the back of your mind. It's not because it doesn't matter or I don't care but it's because life at home and life at school make sure you can't do the things you love but somehow like right now you can get back to it. You get back to it because you love it and it means something to you. 

And that's I have to say because that's what life is like when you have time to talk there is nothing to talk about but when you don't have the time you have something to talk about.

Hi

Right, hi. Welcome to My Carers' Blog. It's just a little blog about life as a teenager who's Mum has MS and all the cool stuff we get up to, all the baking I tend to do as a time waster! 

Here comes the small little intro * drum-roll* 
Mum was diagnosed with MS when I was born and I've grown up with it. Dad fixes wheelchair lifts. Me i'm a typical teenager most of the time!
