Review 

Having read the book & seen the film many times now, I can unshamefully say that every time I cry. I think that dementia, any form should be explored & what the author did is wonerful. Lisa's writing is captivating & powerful. It is full of raw emotions & beautifully written, every word I read I felt it. 

As a massive book reader I read numerous books, but nothing like this. This book was emotional, heartbreaking & a phenomenal read. This book should be read by everyone... Highly recommended!

Experiences

‘Experience.’ One small word, but can have a massive impact on people

For me, this word has more than one definition, my life has been filled with so many experiences that  I could write a book about them (not going to anytime soon!)😉

Every experience I’ve had has changed me, made me stronger and gave me a purpose. I would be lying if I said that everything I’ve faced has been postive, good or happy be cause that’s far from the truth. However, regardless of how good or bad a experience is, it always teaches you lesson and taking that away is what shapes you

My common experiences are in hospitals and everytime I get admitted it’s always different than last time. I mean you'd think that after all those years I’d be used to it, but no it’s always a different experience and I think that in way is great because you are not expecting the same routine and every hospital has various ways of treating patients. Not all my hospital experiences have been good and honestly I still have nightmares about a few, but I don’t think I’d be the person I am today if it wasn’t for everything that I’ve faced.

Sometimes you have to face your fear in order to overcome them

In general experiences could be good and bad, you can learn something or you can overcome your fears which will make you stronger 

Who am I

Who Am I...

I'm just a young women who is a dreamer and a believer
Someone who wants to achieve her goals and will do everything to do so
Someone who has faced many struggles in her life 
Someone who know's what it's like to be different 
I'm a young women who has survived a lot 
I'm a young women who has complex lifelong medical conditions 
I'm a young women who has special educational needs 
I'm a young women trying to get through life 
I'm just someone who wants to share her story and experiences 

This blog will be personal, I will be creating other blogs in the future. However I want to start off with sharing my story/experience 

I hope this blog helps people & my aim is to inspire others who feel like they want to give up because of whatever reason
