Newfound connections

2025-04-07 18:42:27 UTC

Moving to Coventry was incredibly difficult, having to leave my family for the first time and living alone was scary. However, making the move was the first step in making new connections, making new friends and having a new place to call home.

Last moment of authenticity

2025-04-07 18:51:38 UTC

Literally today when I was submitting my final group coursework, speaking to my mates about how we couldn't believe we could actually do it.

New and old connections

2025-04-07 18:53:45 UTC

My best friend from primary school, we grew apart because we went to different secondary schools. For a new connection, I've made a couple new friends at uni, we've been through stuff together and because of that, I feel like we've gained that connection.

A memory of a loved one

I remember driving my brother around after he had broken up with his girlfriend, talking about life and looking for fireworks for new years.

The last time I felt authentic

2025-04-08 13:08:05 UTC

was when I was talking with some friends about interests or current goings on recently. When you finally finish a project or are talking about something you truly care about with those you care about, words just flow without thought.

wife and community

2025-04-08 13:34:16 UTC

I am in a lot of different communities inside and outside of university. To me it is a place where everything feels real and authentic. Also I am engaged, my partner is someone I adore and feel safe around

this year. growing more comfortable in my skin as i spend more time building myself up, i think i've become truly authentic :)

i've lived many lives and experienced so many places- i've learnt to connect with just being over specific people or places- and while that can be lonely, it becomes so fulfilling.

Relationships are always hard to move on from. I once had to leave a 4 and a half year relationship, because i found out she was cheating. She now has a kid who is called a name we had picked for our kid when we were going to have them. It's always hard but sometimes staying in the same place is damaging.

Grandad

My grandad always used to bring home loads of those big plastic childrens cars from the car boots he used to go to on the weekends, he had loads of them in his garden it practically looked like a car showroom for childrens bikes, cars, trikes the lot. He died of a heart attack when I was quite young and I don't remember a lot of memories of him but I remember he loved me and thats enough.
