The Woman I Wanted to Be

Product Information

To sum up, I want to say that I always thought of blogs like this one as bait or a trap. I thought people were trying to get you to speak up, talk to someone, etc just so you get judged by others when you do decide to speak up (it was a very random thought I had in my mind during my tough times). I promise you that this blog as well as others are trying to help you, especially the ones that share truthful stories for example this story. I did not take the time to write this to lie to you, bait you into doing something, or anything negative. I want you to feel better, you do not deserve to feel upset most of the days, nobody does. This applies to everyone who struggles with mental health. If you are reading this just because you are bored or for whatever reason, I hope you learned and took away something from this. I want you to remember that words can be extremely powerful so please do not ignore them, instead, analyse them and maybe it will speed up the process of getting better, another thing I want you to remember is that things are not always going to be easy. It is not like struggling with mental health happens only once. There will be days where you will feel sad, angry, anxious, etc even I feel a slightly negative way sometimes but that feeling tends to naturally go away fast, it does not linger around you the entire time. I wanted to” uses the past verb tense of “to want” to show the intention of doing something. You can also use “I wanted to” regarding future events. “I want to” uses the present verb tense of “to want” to show the intention that we want to do something now. Is It Correct To Use “I Wanted To” About A Future Event?

On the other hand, it’s also important to identify your limitations. To do this, you have to free yourself from all the masks and disguises that you’ve hidden behind over the years.You may not always have control over the circumstances you face. But you can control how well you take care of yourself, which can affect your stress levels and enable you to grow as a person when you face life's challenges. In doing so, you may find many fears and insecurities. Someone who’s been too focussed on recognition and validation from others needs time to recover and strengthen their self-worth. Awaken your psychological strengths I know I know very weird. Having all of this weight on me was too much, my attendance and punctuality dropped which then had the pastoral worker worried. Her name was Mrs. Grant, after many missed, worrisome days and after a lot of meetings with Mrs. Grants, my teachers, assistant headteacher, it was the GCSE exam result day. One way to achieve this is by activating what psychologists Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman defined in 2004 as psychological strengths. This is the most common synonym, mainly used to announce that we’d like to do something in the future.

Sirius smiled tentatively. Sometimes he had fantasised about not being sorted into Slytherin, escaping his family clutches, but it hadn’t seemed like a real possibility until now, with James next to him, grinning. "Maybe I'll break the tradition. Where are you heading, if you've got the choice?"In addition to this, I had a bunch of students “fake caring” about me, in other words, they would ask about my struggles just to, later, make fun of them. In my older face, I see my life. Every wrinkle, every smile line, every age spot. My life is written on my face. There is a saying that with age, you look outside what you are inside. If you are someone who never smiles your face gets saggy. If you're a person who smiles a lot, you will have more smile lines. Your wrinkles reflect the roads you've taken; they form the map of your life. My face reflects the wind and sun and rain and dust from the trips I've taken. My curiosity and love of life have filled me with colors and experiences and I wear them all with gratitude and pride. My face carries all my memories. Why would I erase them?" I thought this was a Sorting, not a therapy session?” He wasn’t really enjoying having his faults being listed at him by some smug, tattered clothing accessory. These masks are like a protection to help you be socially accepted. By using these masks, people hope to be accepted, included, and even appreciated by others. However, due to this, there may come a time when you barely recognize yourself due to so many masks or disguises that you put on when you’re around others. The same is true with poor nutrition. A poor diet can leave you feeling bloated and tired, and can add extra pounds over time. You need the right fuel to face life's challenges, but when stress hits, it's often the unhealthy food we crave.
