I need to regain control.
I need to be in charge.
I've given up the coffee, given up the cigarettes.
It is all about me, and I have got a lot to answer for.
I've been stretched.
I've done bad, but that's okay.
It's time to bring it back.
It's all about me.
Today I've had the worst caffeine withdrawal headache despite having the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee with pills. I hope that tomorrow will be better. The first day's always the worst. My body just needs to get used to it. I need to rely on me. Not caffeine or nicotine. I can't afford to, more than anything else. Smoking is also disgusting. I want to stop.
I'm writing my plans.
Need to keep on top of life.
There's still so much to be done.
This is my choir.
This is where I've been tonight.
With these joyful faces.
Oh how I love this choir.
(That's me playing bass).
(And the ex playing trumpet).
I hope you enjoy.
Thanks for your support guys, today in class we were talking about whether facebook and blogging communities could be thought of as social capital. My lecturer said that for many people, blogging communities are much more real than any other they're part of. I think that's true. Here, I'm not afraid to say anything. I know I'm not judged, and I know that you guys are always there for me. It's like I've found lots of people that are like me enough to understand, who get me, and love me, whatevs. I love that about you guys, thank you so much. <3
Also, Lisa, I am not Stephen. My name is Heather. I'm sorry he hurt you, but please, take your bitterness elsewhere.
Ah that Lisa! i think she's that Anon who are posting in my blog about one of my friends here in blogger...
ReplyDeleteoh my dear, Heather, sure you'll find away to heal yourself... i believe in you. and yes, i feel the same with blogging. i love you, though we are from the other sides of this world.
We can certainly master our addictions! I 'quit' smoking {i wasn't really addicted, I just like doing it} but my roommate just bought me two cartons of my favorites. I'm don't want to be rude but really don't want to smoke them. Maybe once a weekend? Maybe just bum them off to friends? I switched to strong black tea instead of morning coffee. Do you like tea? Might you try that?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't see you in the video but you guys sounded awesome! Much love!

love the video! keep at it girl.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on quitting smoking and coffee. I quit smoking too I think 2 months ago. Have you noticed how much milkier and soft your face skin has gotten. Smoking blocks your pores! So glad I quit. You will regain control because after you loose it its all about regaining it again. Just keep your focus on what you know and want. I've never had a caffeine headache but it sounds bad and I hope they go away.
ReplyDeleteStay Strong.

Oh, how beautiful it is that you are making choices to better yourself, and your well-being. Most people don't even have the courage to try putting those things to an end. You are simply phenomenal. The choir sounds fantastic. Thank you for sharing that with us.
ReplyDeleteKeep going, dear.
I believe in you.
We all believe in you.
Stay strong.
