Life feels stacked against me/us but I try and stay positive. I struggle sometimes though, I'm not going to lie.

I used to be very cynical and grumpy and miserable up til December last year.

Now I take NOTHING for granted, very grateful for every day I get to wake up, have a lovely coffee, see my growing children and live!

Nothing like a life-changing event to give me a good kick up the arse…

Still cynical and miserable on Fab terms though

I try and be as positive as possible, but I do have days where I choose violence, or isolation.

I've been kicked in the arse far too many times by life, but when people say "I don't know how you do it/cope" you know your outward personality is definitely a positive happy one 😊

On fab I've gradually become more cynical as time goes on but in the other 99.99 percent of my life I've always been the one taking the positive from every situation.

That has been severely tested over the last few years with so many personal losses and difficult times that friends have been going through.

I'm ridiculously optimistic, cheeky and free spirited.

Life is one big adventure for me, being that way certainly helps me get through any tough times, it's helped create opportunity's in life that I otherwise might have missed and I think it helps to keep me young.
