Growing Up

We all change when we're growing up. Often we end up as completely different people to how we started...whether that's in our views, aspiration, beliefs, looks, personality or all of the above.

The way we look is usually an outlet of who we are. For example, you never meet a boring person with neon coloured hair! Thinking about it... I've never met anyone with neon coloured hair, but I've seen pretty close!

I know I personally went through a load of different hair colours.. Not quite that drastic...

I can't remember what I wanted to be growing up, but I in the last couple of years I wanted to be a mental health nurse. I'd gone as far as applying to uni to train to be qualified to work in this area. I was called for interviews, but something didn't feel right. Now here I am, a year later about to start university to train to be a primary school teacher. The thing is...it doesn't matter when you realise what you want to do with your life. All that matters is you do it when you realise!!

The thing is... growing up... you realise life isn't fair and you can't always have everything you're own way. It's just as much about helping yourself as it is about helping others! It's about learning to be responsible for yourself and others, and to develop your own mind and thinking.

I still want to be able to help those dealing with mental health issues and that's why I joined MiLO's cause: http://mindslikeours.co.uk/

Yes, I know I go on about it, but I'm so proud of what everyone at MiLO is doing. Am getting so excited about talking through plans and ideas for World Mental Health Day (WMHA) on October 10th. Watch this space....
