:D happy times

So far things have going well for me this past couple of weeks, I got a job, bought lots of things that I've always wanted and I've really enjoyed myself :D Though there have been a few setbacks for instance I've had a cold for about a week now (it's clearing up now though) and my phone has been playing up (I seriously need a new one) but despite that, I am content at the moment.

Other than going to work this week I haven't done much all I did was;
Sleep - Arround 16 hours a
Watch 3 movies - Percy Jackson and the lightning thief (about 4 times), Interview with the vampire and One flew over the cuckoo's nest :D
Watch Avatar The last airbender: The legend of Aang & The legend of Korra :D Both amazing.
Eat a tonne of gravy and chips :P
so nothing really that exciting :S lol

I found out some good news today though, my brother is planning on moving out when he comes back from his holiday :D Hopefully he'll find a place quickly and leave :D Oh how I sound so evil lol. If I could afford to I would have moved out years ago but I can't :( So now my goal is to move out by the time I'm 22 the same age as my brother. 2 more years to go :D

Today the most amazing thing happened, i got a phone call about a job interview of a job that i really, really wanted. the only downside being my phone has been playing up so i only got half of the message, fortunatly i managed to take the number down so i'll ringing them tomorrow to ask for details and to confirm that i want to attend the interview :D on another note i also got a new phone, admitidly it was a cheaper one but at least it works :D

so thats all i've been upt to so far this month, i hope to have something a bit more interestiong to write about next time :) bye bye xxxx = ^ - ^ =

Now all i have to do is book some driving lessons and star having a look at the highway code. Planning on attempting the theory test first, as everyone I've spoken to/asked has recommended to do it first :D.  Wish me luck, cos I'm going to need it:D

On another note, i have found some jobs to apply for and hopefully i'll get them, well at least one of them. fingers crossed :S

My Life

When I was 7 I used to wish I was an adult so that I could do anything I wanted. I thought that I'd be confident and happy and able to cope with everything that the world threw at me. Oh how wrong I was. Now that I'm 19 and almost 20 I dream of the simpler times when everything was done for me. I never had to work and could just coast through life. As of October last year I am unemployed and I am hating it so much.

When I finished school at 16 I had no idea what I wanted to do in life, apart from knowing that I did not want to work in a hair salon, as I had previously helped out at my cousin's salon for a couple of days. I hated it, but that's was probably because I had no previous training and didn't know what to. even though all I did was answer the phone, clean, make tea and eventually washed clients hair.

So after school I signed up for college and started doing my As levels. However due to not talking to my old friends from school (who happened to be in all my classes TT^TT) I felt alone and isolated in college so I quit after 3 months.

I went to join the Army Prep course in another college as I'd seen one of my friends on it and saw how much she was enjoying it. I thought that if I joined i too would be happy with it as well, but I guess I have bad judgement, as I ended up hating the course and quit after 2 weeks.

As you can clearly see I've made some bad choices, so finally my sister said that if I couldn't find anything better to do my self then I would have to go to Careers Wales and ask about an apprenticeship or to go on another course. Doing this led me to being put on a work experience programme in a nursery. No doubtingly  you've guessed it, I hated it there. It's not that I disliked working with the children it's just that the staff put too much responsibility on the work experience people, and didn't really support us the way they should have. So I ended up quitting after about 2 months.

From there I went on to do more work experience, this time in a retail shop, Wilkinson's. Some people may laugh about working there but I can honestly say that  I was the happiest I'd ever been when I worked there. However after 18 months I sadly had to leave as the work experience course I was on was finishing and there was no hope of me getting a job at the end of it.

Before I finished at Wilkinson's my mother managed to get me a job helping out in the kitchen of a pub that a friend of hers's daughter owned. At first I was excited about the prospect of working in a bar but as the days grew closer and the time for me to start arrived I panicked. The first day was horrific I got shouted at constantly and was expected to know how to do everything. That night I came home crying and dreaded working the next day. I managed to go back a second time and even though it was better I still coudn't cope. I wanted to tell my mom but I didn't want to let her down. As the week passed and my next shift was coming up I panicked and had a mini breakdown, I couldn't face going back there. This was when my sister took me to the doctor and found out that I was slightly depressed. The doctor reccomended some activities such as join a group to try and make me happier as she didn't think that medication helps everyone and in some cases makes things worse.

So moving on from that experience I got a job on a market stall newsagents that was owned by a family friend. This was supposed to help build my confidence and self-esteem, however it did the opposite and made things worse. I admit that working on the stall made me speak louder and join in conversations but that's all it did. Initially I hated working there, some days I would come home crying and I wanted to quit and give up so many times. However as I had no other job opportunities available I had to stay. I'm glad I did in a way as I was able to pay for my self to go on holiday for two weeks and pay for spending and all the other paraphernalia that goes with holidays :D. However the feeling of not wanting to be at the job was still there, the reason was that I was constantly being criticised  and compared to some one who used to work there before I did. Eventually though, the comments got too much and I quit. and that's what brings me to where I am now.

A lot of people may say that it's my own fault that I'm in this situation , and I agree, however I place my happiness and sanity higher that anything.  While I was working at Wilkinson's my slight depression that I had, lifted and I was genuinely happier than I had been in years, however when I worked in the market stall i noticed it starting to slip. I no longer found interest in the things I used to love and didn't care for anything really. I still can't say that I'm happy anymore. I no longer have favorite colour's or food or anything anymore. Whenever I try to think pf stuff like that I just come up empty. Nothing, blank empty thoughts. It makes feel like a freak that I can't enjoy the things I know I love anymore.

OK so if you've manged to read all of this I commend you , and hope that I didn't bore you with a snapshot of my life story.
