If I Could Sit Down With My 20-Year-Old Self
I often think about that younger version of me—insecure, shy , and a quiet uncertainty that I didn’t always show on the outside. If I could sit across the table from them now, cup of tea in hand, I wouldn’t overwhelm them with advice. I’d keep it simple. Honest. Grounded in what truly matters.
First, I would say this: everything will be okay.
Not perfect. Not smooth. Not without heartbreak, wrong turns, or moments where you feel completely lost—but okay. Life has a way of working itself out, even when it doesn’t look like it in the moment. Some of the things you’ll worry about most won’t matter in a few years, and some of the hardest moments will quietly shape your strength.
I would tell them to believe in yourself.
Not in a loud, overconfident way—but in a steady, quiet knowing that you are capable. You don’t need to have all the answers right now. You don’t need to prove yourself to everyone in the room. The confidence you’re looking for comes from doing, trying, failing, and getting back up again. Trust that you are building something, even when it feels slow.
Then I’d lean in and say: follow your gut.
That instinct you sometimes ignore? It’s there for a reason. It will guide you better than outside noise ever can. When something feels right, pay attention. When something feels off, don’t brush it aside just to keep the peace. Listening to yourself will save you time, energy, and heartache.
And maybe most importantly: don’t believe everything everyone tells you.
People will project their fears, limitations, and opinions onto you—sometimes without even realizing it. Just because someone says you can’t do something doesn’t make it true. Question things. Think for yourself. Stay open, but don’t hand over your sense of direction to someone else.
Life won’t unfold exactly how you imagine it—and that’s not a failure, it’s the point. The unexpected turns often lead to the most meaningful chapters.
If I could leave my younger self with one feeling, it would be reassurance. That you don’t need to rush. That you’re allowed to grow at your own pace. And that one day, you’ll look back and realise—you made it through more than you ever thought you could.

Summer has always been my favourite season, even here in England where it can feel like a rare guest rather than a reliable fixture. After months of grey skies, drizzle, and damp mornings, the arrival of warmer days feels like a reset. The rain loses its grip, the evenings stretch out, and everything seems a little lighter.
What I love most is the warmth—not extreme heat, just enough sunshine to sit outside comfortably without layering up. In a place like Warrington, where rain is practically part of the identity, those dry, sunny days feel earned. You appreciate them more because they don’t last forever.
Summer also changes the pace of life. Parks fill up, people linger outside longer, and there’s a sense that you should make the most of every clear day. It’s less about big events and more about small, simple moments—walking without a coat, eating outside, or just enjoying an evening that doesn’t disappear by 4pm.
We might not get much of it, but maybe that’s exactly why summer stands out. When it arrives, it reminds you how good the weather can be—and how much better everything feels without the rain.

The most important things to have are love, health peace & cats !!🐈‍⬛

Love can conquer all and it comes in many forms. There is the love you have for a partner which is totally different to the love you have a parent . To love and be loved is the most wonderful thing in the world.

Peace is the moment when everything aligns and you can just be.

Health is self explanatory but it’s important to help it along with good nutrition, exercise and self care

Cats .. doesnt need any explanation !! They are life, complex adorable and the icing on the cake.
