With Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, whether we get on with them or not-you can't choose your family but hopefully you've got plenty of good memories with them to be thankful for...even if they do argue and are a little quirky...…
A kind of personal one I wrote when I was leaving my childhood home for uni- how you wish those carefree happy childhood memories could last for ever, how you wonder how you'll ever make it alone and how you wish you could savor those home comforts for ever :)…
Inspired by those moments of reflection and nostalgia hit you when your at a stage in your life where there's a cliff edge of change like when you're about to graduate, get married or start a new job :)…
Inspired by those moments where you just feel like you don't fit in...…
For all those times you wish your loved one or even yourself had had the courage and balls to own up to their/your own misgivings and mistakes- only then can you shake of the crappy feeling of guilt and being to make amends :)…
