living with regrets
3 months ago
I have allowed certain friends to treat me badly in the past. I have allowed them to call me names, even steal from me, without saying anything or stopping it. I was raised to believe that if you didn’t share things you didn’t deserve to have them. I still believe that, but unfortunately I made friends with people who, no matter how much you gave them, would always want more. In the case of one friend, I’ve given her money, clothes, jewellery, even my crystals, and she still stole things from our house and was constantly mooching from me, to the point where for over a year (till we moved away) I stopped buying anything for myself. What was the point I knew I wouldn’t get to keep it. I was raised to share, but I suppose that certain people have it in their nature to take advantage, and I was stupid enough to allow it, thinking I suppose that I was being a good friend.
I have been ill for a very long time, both physically and then after my breakdown, emotionally too, and need to take some control over how my life is, instead of just allowing things to happen.
I need to not have negative things in my life if I’m to get better. I still feel very selfish for wanting peace though. I need to live in the present and stop regretting the past. Try to learn from the bad things that have happened to me, and move on. Don’t know if I can though.
finished the bedroom
4 months ago
well it took a while (although it had to be spaced out over two weekends because of work and stuff) but we got the bedroom finished :-) The walls used to be plain lavender (painted over an embossed wallper), we had to strip all of the old paper off before we could paper with the new wallpaper.
Next major job we’re going to try to tackle I think might be to remove the artex from the hall and stairs and then wallpaper them. Also have to finish tiling the bathroom (the tiles inside the shower need to be replaced) and finish wallpapering the kitchen.
