At college, there's this stupid little 'educational app store'. It's fine, well it was. It wasn't doing anyone any harm other than being distracting with the memory pairs game, until it made itself a little advert. It said something along the lines of "you aren't special, you aren't creative, you aren't an author, you just have the educational app store".

Well fuck that, because guess what, you are special, we all have talents, we've all had experience. Experience is what matters in this world. Be kind and others will be kind to you. My life has been an interesting one, there are fragments of it (mainly in Spanish) deeply sunk into the lava of my musings on this blog, but what have I made of it?

I won't lie to you I still struggle everyday with the things that went on, but time IS a great healer. Anyone can cope and survive whatever they have to, the thing is, some days you get squashed like a million rocks are rolling at you and each one screams out all those little insecurities, the bruises shine brightest in the darkest places and you have to let someone help you. Perhaps it's like that everyday for a while, and people start to get tired of it, because yeah, you get it right? You're tired yourself. And it does get difficult when you stop letting people help, because they're going to get tired, and you pull the rocks off yourself, and the bruises don't fade how they would do.

But other days. Those are the ones worth doing it all for, because no matter what has happened to you, something still makes you laugh, someone still makes you smile, and more and more you start to build confidence, that you are better than what happened to you. It doesn't define you, at least not today. When people look at you and they can't see the bruises, and you don't care because it isn't who you are, then that's worthwhile. The days when the world is a better place and all you can possibly do is make it better because you have a story worth sharing, worth giving to others. Because, let's face it, you do.

Be that person who makes peoples days, help people get out from the rocks, because we're all worth it.
