Turning Point in Life: It's a long heartbreaking story about the turning point in my life, but the basically I was 19 when I met a guy called Juan. I had come into some money through my grans trust fund  and of course being young and naive I believed it would never disappear and so I bragged about it. I fell for him, and started lending him money. He told me he loved me, and of course I believed him, but at the same time knew that I could only keep him interested in me if I have money (he wouldn't just leave). He was one of those dodgy guys, who had communication issues, so when I felt down I would drink. It got to a point where I was drinking everyday, before, during and after work, just to block my feelings of sadness, pain and depression. Long story short, he took all my money, and about 8 months after we started "dating" he left me without saying anything. I was heartbroken. To this day I have trust issues because of him, but I feel I have grown up a lot s

Self-Portrait: It is amazing how we can all change over the years, and taking self-portraits can either have a positive or negative effect on our self-esteem. A few years ago I use to take tons of photo's of myself, as in my eyes I look good, these days I often edit photo's of myself as I am not happy with my dull, spotty complexion. Looking at the comparisons, I can see the difference in my confidence, before I was full of myself, and now I try to hide. I don't however believe in too much makeup or expensive products or procedures to improve one's looks, as we are given something unique in nature, and one day someone will come along and love us for being unique even when we don't love ourselves. I'm not saying I would not mind if I were living an ugly duckling story, but sometimes we all have to make do with what we got, because being yourself and being unique makes everyone attractive in their own way.

Memories: What are memories?  Memories are when we recall past experience Memories can either fill your heart with gladness and leaving you smiling like a complete idiot all by yourself in public places, or memories that make you want to crawl up in a ball (in my case with teddy in arms) and cry your heart out. Memories can be of things or places or people or of occurrences. Sometimes even a smell can bring back a memory, something I haven't thought of in years. I guess this is where things of sentimental value comes in as well, its amazing how one small object can hold so many memories. Sometimes the strangest things can trigger a memory, like seeing a shirt or photo with a turtle and remembering the turtle tattoo of someone who was once so close to you. Its hard for me to pick just one memory, because as I am also human, I don't want to forget. Yes, we all want to forget the sad memories, the one's where we regret doing something, but at the end of the day, any m
